Nope, I don't use ACPI. I didn't have it in my kernel, and don't load it
dynamically either.

I tried that, I still get the same message as above, in addition to some new
happy messages:
| ACPI-0159: *** Error: AcpiLoadTables: Could not get RSDP, AE_NO_ACPI_TABLES
| ACPI-0213: *** Error: AcpiLoadTables: Could not load tables: AE_NO_ACPI_TABLES
| ACPI: table load failed: AE_NO_ACPI_TABLES
I've probably turned ACPI off in the BIOS (haven't checked), if there's even
ACPI stuff available on this machine.

Loader.conf works nicely, but putting acpi in there, or in the kernel, gives
exactly the same results as above: the PNP messages, plus the ACPI complaints.
