 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.
