Quoting Ed (again):

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


Note: This had already been answered on this list.
