You don't need to edit the BIOS.  You take the output of acpidump -d, edit 
that in a text editor as I had suggested earlier, then follow the instructions 
in the acpi(4) man page (OVERRIDING YOUR BIOS BYTECODE section) to compile the 
edited version and use it instead of the one your BIOS provides.
