I know as of FreeBSD 5 they changed the system timing to use ACPI instead of TSC... that seems to be the point its getting stuck on.

From what you said if you have ACPI disabled, it boots fine. That would suggest to me that there is some incompatability with the boards ACPI and FreeBSD.

Have a look at this thread, its not the problem you are having but related to another issue involving TSC and ACPI. I don't know if that setting will help your problem, but you never know. It's worth looking at anyhow.
