Subject:   acpi problem in compaq armada m300

Please help, (I am relatively new to free BSD)

In running the installation off the cdrom drive which in the m300 is in a
removable base, the installation steps through a number of steps and then
dies with the report that the internal temperature is too high.  Feeling
the unit, which is very thin, the temperature seems cool to the touch.
I've had no problem installing 4.5 on the same unit, nor any problems
installing various flavors of linux, and the unit runs for hours without
any problem.  I also noticed that just before the temp alert, the boot
seems to be trying to activate cpu throttling (cpu is a pentium II).

Messages in order are:

acpi0: <    COMPAQ RSDTBL > on motherboard
ACPI-0625: *** Info: CPE Block0 defined as CPE0 to CPE15
acpi0: power button is handled as a fixed feature programming model.

Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0
acpi_tz0: WARNING - current temperature (41.0C) exceeds system limits

I noticed simular problems with acpi on more recent compaq systems in the
archives, but saw no resolution other than disabling acpi.  How can I do
this?  Is this a modification to the laptop or to the bsd boot.  If to the
latter, what would I modify and how?
