Kernel crash on boot from CD (6.2)

[Brian A. Seklecki]

The usual fair for bleeding edge hardware.

Try:

     acpi_load
               Unset this to disable automatic loading of the ACPI
               module.
               See also hint.acpi.0.disabled in device.hints(5).

Break out of the boot screen and set that value
