Just booted my AMD64 system with the install CD from the link above and got 
into sysinstall no problem, booted the kernel (with ACPI) and could see all 
hardware being detected nicely.

I remember when I first had the system that I had to flash the BIOS as the USB 
2.0 stuff was causing issues with both Windows and Linux, maybe it's worth 
updating the BIOS, outside of that I don't really know what to suggest and 
will have to leave it for somebody with more FreeBSD experience to answer.
