Most PC-type systems have a cable from the CD drive to the
sound card for this.

Quite well, thank you.

Then maybe using the "early adopter's" version wasn't a good idea.
Users are expected to be fairly knowledgeable when they're using these
advanced versions.  [See http://www2.ru.freebsd.org/releases/5.2.1R/early-adopter.html]

You can disable the APIC by setting "hint.apic.0.disabled" to 1 in the
loader.  That's what the release errata say, anyway...
