I have a HP nx9105 which, at this time, runs 5.4-STABLE. Installed
5.4-RC4, brought it to RELENG_5, patched DSDT. Now, after all the
"mess", it is very FreeBSD friendly :)
http://blackk.union.edu/~black/freebsd/ was the perfect starting point
for me. Compaq Presario R3000 Series has basically the same hardware.

There is an extra hint to pass at boot time:
hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x9"

You also must disabled ACPI at install time, or else you'll be left
without keybord.
