It's sad, I'll look into what linux drivers are doing then.

TBH, this laptop had Windows 10 installed, and I used bluetooth to 
connect keyboard/mouse, so all drivers were installed/used.  Then I 
installed FreeBSD on top of it, all without shutdown, and I didn't get 
errors while booting installer or installed system.  It's only when I 
did finally poweroff it I started getting these errors on boot.
