I currently have an old Compaq DP6000 6266mmx box running as one of my test servers. The default boot option is Non-ACPI (running FreeBSD 5.1). If I just let the loader screen come up (The one with the little ascii devil) and not do anything, the machine will hang at boot. Somewhere around Mounting the / filesystem... If I select option # 2 ACPI enabled, then the machine boots with no problem. What can I modify to make the machine Automatically select option # 2 during the boot process? It gets a tad bit annoying to have to stand in front of the box everytime I want to reboot it. Thanks PS. I already have ACPI_ENABLE="YES" in my rc.conf file. Yes this is a ACPI compliant Machine.
