Hi,

When I boot my laptop running 6.0-RELEASE I need to boot with ACPI as 
otherwise it crashes.  Was wondering how to make booting with ACPI the default?

To be honest I'm not bothered about the boot menu at all as I'm quite happy 
with the system booting without any interaction.  Sometimes I need to reboot 
remotely which isn't possible at the moment.  I've read a bit about 
loader.conf and have used it for various things, is it as easy as putting a 
line in there to get this working?
