This is how -CURRENT behaved on my T23 with ACPI enabled, but only prior to the large ACPI import in the fall (October sometime?). Try issuing a 'hint.acpi.0.disabled=1' before issuing your 'boot -v' command. This will disable ACPI and may fix your problem. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
