Sigh, the SCI trigger/polarity testing probably does not work on your
box.  Using the value in the MADT does not work; forcefully setting
them to level/low does not work either, so we try testing the
trigger/polarity.

Here are the last resort tunables:
hw.acpi.sci.trigger=level
hw.acpi.sci.polarity=high

The possible values for these tunables are:
hw.acpi.sci.trigger, level or edge
hw.acpi.sci.polarity, high or low

It looks like level/low could freeze your box, so you don't need to
test that combination.

Best Regards,
sephe

Can you try choosing '9' at the loader menu to get to the loader prompt  
and do:


hw.ioapic_enable=0
boot
