This is a well-known issue with the USB support of some BIOSes (these days, actually most of them). The BIOS uses protected mode, while BTX also does, and this clashes. You'll need to wire up an IDE or SATA optical drive, or fiddle with PXE to get FreeBSD installed. On my X41, which is the predecessor to your X60, I installed OpenBSD instead... :)
