I get results for

$ sysctl hw.acpi

hw.acpi.battery.info_expire: 5
hw.acpi.battery.units: 1
hw.acpi.battery.state: 1
...
hw.acpi.sleep_button_state: S3
hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5
hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S3 S4 S5

I tried a verbose boot as you said and went through 
/var/run/dmesg.boot. I didn't see anything that seemed particularly of 
interest, for instance

$ grep 'error' /var/run/dmesg.boot

gave only some WiFi related errors. I'll upload the full file soon; I'm 
new to BSD so it's taking me some time to set up the system and get 
that file to a site.

That gives no results either.

Thanks again for your help!

If none, acpi.ko isn't loaded.

Otherwise select Verbose Booting from the startup menu, and scan results in /var/run/dmesg.boot to look for errors while booting.

You may need to put that file up on some site, and post a link to it here.</div></blockquote><span style="white-space: break-spaces;"><div><span style="white-space: break-spaces;"><br></span></div>I get results for</span></div><div><span style="white-space: break-spaces;"><br></span></div><div><span style="white-space: break-spaces;">$ sysctl hw.acpi</span></div><div><span style="white-space: break-spaces;"><br></span></div><div><span style="white-space: break-spaces;">hw.acpi.battery.info_expire: 5</span></div><div><span style="white-space: break-spaces;">hw.acpi.battery.units: 1</span></div><div><span style="white-space: break-spaces;">hw.acpi.battery.state: 1</span></div><div><span style="white-space: break-spaces;">...</span></div><div><span style="white-space: break-spaces;">hw.acpi.sleep_button_state: S3</span></div><div><span style="white-space: break-spaces;">hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5</span></div><div><span style="white-space: break-spaces;">hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S3 S4 S5</span></div><div><span style="white-space: break-spaces;"><br></span></div><div><span style="white-space: break-spaces;">I tried a verbose boot as you said and went through /var/run/dmesg.boot.
