FreeBSD on AMD 64 Boot Lock Up - ACPI Related

First of all, please to not top-post. It disturbs the normal flow of
reading.

But to answer your question, if your PC's devices are all correctly
working with FreeBSD drivers and if you don't use power management I see
no great need for ACPI. Laptops might need the power management
component of ACPI. Some motherboards use ACPI to let you read out things
like temperatures and fan speeds. But those can mostly also be
discovered by other programs.

Sorry for top-posting. Will remember not to do it again. Thanks for all your
help. So far the system seems fine with ACPI disabled.
Thanks,

Joe
