Hi, yes the microcode file provided by Intel is incompatible with FreeBSD. You'll need to split it into individual files for each CPU. I vaguely remeber that there was a script or something like that bundled with one of the ports. Nevertheless attached is a small C program which does the same. It's not written by me, I just found it somewhere on the web.
