acpi: bad read from port 0x71:: FreeBSD 6.1 /boot fault

[Gary Kline]

	Does anybody know what to tweak in /boot/* to stop 
	"bad read/write"  messages from/to the BIOS?  [At least 
	so fare as I can tell?

	I've triied everything suggested on Google; rebooted, no-joy.
	The BIOS is reset (AFAICT) to their fail-safe defaults, but
	every 10 sec these errs get printed to stderr.

	I'd like to know what ... and *why* with 6.1, just out of the
	blue!

	thanks for any insights,

	gary
