When the system boots and displays its "Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or
any other key for command prompt" prompt, hit space to get to a bootloader
prompt.

Then type this in:

set hint.acpi.0.disabled=1
boot

You system will then boot with ACPI disabled.

You will need to do this on every successive boot until you can edit the
/boot/device.hints file and disable ACPI permanently.
