There are people on this list know loads more than me, but my little bit:

My laptop (a Toshiba) has a
	"Hold the power button down for 5 long seconds to force
	a power off" facility. Useful on crashes.
If yours does too it'd make your experimenting a bit less painful.

/etc/rc.conf
	try commenting out with "#" your ifconfig_bfe0=
		to disable just that interface
	or add 	network_interfaces="lo0"	to turn off all but localhost
	see /etc/defaults/rc.conf

/boot/loader.conf
	can hold loads of directives, 
#       man acpi
#       man sysctl
#       sysctl -a               # shows all values
#       sysctl -a -d    # Print description instead of value
Good luck.
