Hey, I just installed FreeBSD 11.2 on old Toshiba laptop (http://www.toshiba.be/nl/discontinued-products/satellite-c650d-11j/) for which I had to do a BIOS update. During bsdinstall I noticed something very peculiar : in the beginning of the install the program searches for keymap files. However the message 'fetching keymap files' appears in the interface and hangs (I noticed a cursor in the bottom left of the screen). Until I press a key on my keyboard and then I get the list of the keymap files. During several (but not all) points where in bsdinstall I had to move from screen to screen, I could only do so by pressing a key (I used <shift> and not <enter> because this key is used within bsdinstall) . Once installed, the boot messages appear fluently without hangs. However when I am logged in as root and I type 'poweroff' again a few lines appear and then it hangs ... until I press a key. I have to press quite a few keys for the shutdown process to advance until it is completely shut down.... Apparently, somebody experienced the same problem under Debian (https://superuser.com/questions/364319/computer-freezes-at-random-times-until-key-is-pressed) .... So I looked if I could turn off ACPI but then my laptop won't boot. I also tried to disable the subsystem 'timer' in ACPI (based on the answer of the Debian post) by adapting /boot/loader.conf (debug.acpi.disabled="timer") but the problem remains. A verbose boot does not reveal any ACPI specific errors. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Regards, Chris
