I've managed to boot a X220i using -CURRENT as of last night. I got
some help on -questions to get it done though. From a blank machine,
you'll need either a non-USB boot device with FreeBSD media (untested)
or a USB keyboard. If you are using a USB keyboard
set hint.atkbd.0.disabled=1
to install, and use the USB keyboard during installation. Then on the
first reboot in the BIOS set 'USB UEFI BIOS' to disabled. (This means
you can't boot from a USB device.)
At that point, the machine will boot fine. I've tried 8.2-RELEASE, the
last amd64 -CURRENT I could find on the FreeBSD website, and -CURRENT as
of 2011-05-16.
I'm building a couple of ports at the moment, and want to reboot with a
couple of config changes in the loader to see if I can get the WiFi
recognized. As soon as I do that I can post my dmesg someplace.
Thanks a lot for the very valuable hint! :-) Booting the amd64
installation medium works now, I will report after the install whether
the second part also works for me (but I am pretty sure of it).
Thanks a lot again! :-)

I'm not on a sandy bridge, but a core2 based lenovo thinkpad (SL410, I
seem to have this thing fully supported finally...f-keys, sd card etc!).
I've noticed that BTX halts about 60% of the time for me via DVD. My
keyboard also does not work at login prompt or elsewhere (during
fsck...faster!) until after about 2-3 keypresses, after which it's fine.
BTX via CD/DVD actually seems to work better if i start impatiently
hitting the keyboard when "-" appears.
I'm not sure if this is a related issue. I also had amd64 btx problems
on a Dell desktop, so it might be a SATA/scsi/cam timeout thing. Never
had a problem on server hardware, although most of those boxes were
Opterons (and thus associated chipsets).
I've come to view FreeBSD dvd boots as a form of gambling.
