Subject:   Compaq desktop does not work without ACPI

I upgraded old Compaq Despro EP from 5.1-Release to Current as of Aug 27th 
(cvsupped)
and last line I see after boot is "Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a". The 
box just can't
go past this point. boot -v gives one more line "start_init: trying 
/sbin/init".
It happened with both generic and myself configured kernels.

Surprisingly if I boot with ACPI turned on it goes through and works 
properly then.

So quick fix is to enable ACPI in /boot/loader.conf but I think it's a bug 
anyway and if
somebody wants to tackle the problem I can give more info and help in 
debugging.
