Booting without ACPI produces the message
Root mount waiting for: usbus3
a number of times, interspersed with
usbd_setup_device_desc: getting device descriptor at addr 2 failed, USB_ERR_TIMEOUT
and
usbd_req_re_enumerate: addr=2, set address failed! (USB_ERR_TIMEOUT, ignored)
, before giving up and presenting me with the prompt to specify the boot
device manually. It doesn't show any available devices, though.
Enabling safe mode doesn't even get me as far as the original attempt.
The last lines shown are these:
uhub3: <VIA EHCI root HUB, class 9/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 1> on usbus3
uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered
uhub1: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered
uhub2: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered
(no "Root mount waiting for: usbus3" message.)
It is the same result with and without ACPI.
