I can not even boot any 5..x code on that machine with ACPI on.  And you 
are right - looks like FreeBSD (almost) cleans up everything which should 
be followed by reboot which is never happening so manual intervention is 
ALWAYS required. Which means remote upgrades or reboots are impossible. 
FreeBSD 4.x has no problems doing that on same machine and yes, i know this 
is diff. code.

p.s.
Will check for boot -v output tomorrow.
