You can find out what the choices are by running the command I gave.  
:-)

1-ns1# sysctl -a kern.timecounter
kern.timecounter.method: 0
kern.timecounter.hardware: i8254
2-ns1# uname -a
FreeBSD ns1.pkix.net 4.11-STABLE FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE #3: Tue Apr  5

If there are more than one available, one can change 
kern.timecounter.method to the index of the timecounter method name 
that you want.  In practice, most people simply change 0 to 1 and if 
that works, stop there.
