hi Jason,
excerpt from
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/laptop/article.html:
If you want to disable ACPI simply add hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" to
/boot/device.hints. You can disable ACPI temporarily at the boot loader
prompt by issueing unset acpi_load if you are having problems booting an
ACPI enabled machine. FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE and later come with a
boot-time menu that controls how FreeBSD is booted. One of the proposed
options is to turn off ACPI. So to disable ACPI just select 2. Boot
FreeBSD with ACPI disabled in the menu.
cheers,
-matt
