This is not a good idea; ACPI isn't "on" or "off", and by the time rc.conf is running it's too late to en/disable it. There are several seperate policy items that need to be tweaked, and ideally the policy daemon will autodetect ACPI and quit if it's not supported, so it would be on all the time. > It also removes a reference to the non existing acpi(9) from acpi(4). Please don't do this; it's there specifically as a goad to me to write acpi(9), which I'm trying to get to sooner rather than later. -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also.
