I took the advice someone else offered and just disabled ACPI. APM works 
well enough. I can't get the laptop to goto sleep but that's perferable 
to going to sleep and never waking (as it did with ACPI). I have no idea 
if if the problem is with FreeBSD's ACPI code or IBM's wacky BIOS, I've 
given up and settled for good enough. If you do get ACPI working please 
post any hints to the list, I might take another try at it.
