Hi, 

there is no boot -c anymore in FreeBSD 5. To set options for specific
devices or to disable some, you set hints in the boot loader, for
example

set hint.acpi.0.disabled=1
boot

To disable ACPI support and continue booting.

To find out more about the installation of FreeBSD, read the
Installation Guide at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-start.html

(Section 2.3.2 deals with Kernel configuration)

HTH,
