Quoting Ed:

"Disable your APIC device, provided you're not trying to run an SMP
kernel in a virtual SMP machine. Disabling the APIC forces FreeBSD to
fall back on the old-fashioned IRQ timers. I think. Anyway, it works.
Or works around. Whatever:

In /boot/loader.conf , add:

hint.apic.0.disabled=1

Or, comment out the "device apic" line in your kernel config file and
rebuild, if you're one of Those People."
