 The ACPI-safe timecounter doesn't work on some systems, and you need to 
 tell FreeBSD to use one of the other time sources. Could you try 
 enabling the i8254 by putting the following in /etc/sysctl.conf and 
 rebooting:
 
 kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254
 
 If that doesn't work you might want to try using the TSC instead.
