I've had several systems in which I've needed to disable the ACPI  
timer component and then the system worked fine.  in /boot/loader.conf:

debug.acpi.disabled="timer"


When installing, break to boot loader and type: set  
debug.acpi.disabled="timer"

You can try the various acpi components to isolate which one is the  
culprit and leave the rest working.
