I would think you'll need to download the AMD64 ISO from here:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/6.0/

I Tried with these iso.
Just booted my AMD64 system with the install CD from the link above
and got into sysinstall no problem, booted the kernel (with ACPI) and
could see all hardware being detected nicely.
I remember when I first had the system that I had to flash the BIOS as
the USB 2.0 stuff was causing issues with both Windows and Linux,
maybe it's worth updating the BIOS, outside of that I don't really
know what to suggest and will have to leave it for somebody with more
FreeBSD experience to answer.

Thank's a lot.
I precise that I've tried with ACPI disabled, just in case. I don't know
how the installer decides that no kernel can be loaded,
but I suppose that some hardware is not supported.
