With some machines ACPI still seems to have some issues. If your upgrading remember to read /usr/src/UPDATING which has: 20010927: Some weird problems result from using ACPI on some machines. To disable ACPI you can add hint.acpi.0.disable="1" to /boot/loader.conf (or by putting set X=Y at the boot loader "ok" prompt). Alternatively, you can remove it from /boot/kernel/acpi.ko or use the MODULES_OVERRIDE function in your kernel config file and not list acpi in that list. So hence: set hit.acpi.0.disable=1 at the loader will probably allow your machine to boot. Another thought is you must have /boot/device.hints (which make installkernel would have told you about) else you'll get no console output.
