I had this same problem on the same model Dell server and resolved it
by disabling ACPI:
On the BSD boot menu, choose the disable acpi option
Configure pfsense and install to the hard drive
On the reboot, be prepared and quickly choose the disable acpi option
again (you don't have but a couple of seconds)
Add the following line to the end of /boot/loader.conf
hint.acpi.0.disabled=1
Reboot and verify that pfsense loads

Couple other suggestions:
-Disable ACPI
-make sure the BIOS is up to date.
and other items here may help if all else fails.
