I'm convinced that if we are going to keep insisting that ACPI is enabled by default, we need to gather the various fixed AML's and commit them to the tree. I can't decide if they should be ports, or in /usr/src. I personally would love to see two installation floppies, one with ACPI on by default and one w/o. Sysinstall should also allow one to turn ACPI off for the next reboot (if one manages to get that far).
