 I'm sorry. My ignorance about FreeBSD is HUGE. For this problem there's 
 a note in:
 
 http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/installation-amd64.html#Q4.2.2.
 
 then to disable the apic on a 64bit/5.3-stable installation is enough 
 add "hint.apic.0.disabled="1" ''
 in the /boot/device.hints file. This work for me.
