Hello John --
I captured the dmesg output for
ACPI, no boot fix
no ACPI, no boot fix
ACPI, boot fixed
no ACPI, boot fixed
The files are at http://fkeinternet.com/support/ where you will find a link=
=20
to 20060607.London.FKEinternet.com.ThinkPad600.dmesg.files.tar.gz which=20
contains the debugging information. In each case, I also included the=20
corresponding loader.conf file, similarly named so it will be obvious which=
=20
one is which.
FYI, my immediate problem was relieved by information I received from Bj=F6r=
n=20
K=F6nig on the freebsd-questions mail list. He wrote:

Even though I am now able to get my ThinkPad to boot FreeBSD 6.1 (I=20
upgraded after solving the boot issue), I am posting this information in=20
the hopes that the contribution will help support FreeBSD on a wider range=
=20
of hardware. I think FreeBSD is an excellent operating system, and will do=
=20
what I can, when I can, to further its development.
