Poor FreeBSD performance / Crash

I have Proxmox 1.3 installed on a Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 1354 and am attempting to install FreeBSD...
The boot loader which gives you the option to press 1 to boot, 7 to reboot and a bunch of options in between seems to hang immediately (it usually gives you a 10 second countdown)...
I managed to get the bootloader to count down properly by adding:
args: -cpu pentium3 -no-hpet -no-kvm-irqchip -no-kvm-pit -no-kvm-pit-reinjection

to the config for the vm, however it then hangs loading the kernel, while on the host system the kvm process is now using 100% cpu.

Tested using ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/7.2/7.2-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso and the quad core amd server offered by ovh.co.uk
 
I have also Proxmox 1.3 installed on a AMD Athlon X2 5050e and got the same crash...

I wish to install monowall or freenas but always the kernel crashes and the vm is running at 100% cpu... :-(

I tested monowall (cdrom-1.235.iso, cdrom-1.3b16.iso) and FreeNAS-amd64-LiveCD-0.69.2.4700.iso.

Seems to be a bug for every FreeBSD distribution?

I downloaded this ISO and got no problems here. (I am using the latest Proxmox VE, not the customized OVH version - Intel Xeon 32xx CPU)
