Adding "hint.acpi.0.disable=3D"1" and hint.apm.0.disable=3D"0" to
/boot/device.hints got it working.  Thanks.  Other than having to put =
them
back if the device is added, is there any problem with removing =
device.hints
lines for drivers that aren't present?

On a side note, it's not terribly obvious that these "kernel variables" =
have
to go in device.hints.  Loader variables go in loader.conf.  But then =
loader
variables configure the kernel at boot time, so the line between the two =
is
really fuzzy.
