I had the same problem.

At the boot prompt use -c, then
at the > prompt, type disable npx0 and hit return.
The type quit.

This is how I got FreeBSD installed on my laptop.
Once it was installed, I did the same thing at 
boot up, but instead of disabling npx0,
I set the flags to 0x07.

It booted with no problems.
