Put hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" in loader.conf.

Just take a look at /boot/beastie.4th and see what it does when
you're choosing to disable ACPI.

I tried putting acpi.0.disabled="1" in the loader.conf and rebooted
the system, but nothing changed, when I let FreeBSD load to the
default my system hangs right after the ad4.

I also took a look at the /boot/beastie.4th, I'll figure out what I
can change in there.

Thanks

I haven't had problems myself, but most of the docs I've read say to put it
in /boot/device.hints

I missed the hint in the acpi.0.disabled="1". Anyhow I added it to the
boot/loader.conf and it works like a charm. Thanks

man acpi says it's a loader tunable!

Yup - you're right! I think the docs and other RTFM materials I've read are
getting old and out of date. The man page is definitely better than what
I've read previously.
