Have you tried to disable ACPI? In the boot loader menu choose to boot
without ACPI. To make this permanent, add

hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"

to /boot/loader.conf (it's likely that this file does not exist in your
case, so just create it).

In general, the 1850R should work with FreeBSD 6.2/i386 as I had such a
box up and running til several weeks ago.
