Not exactly.  It's a bit more complicated than that.  I'll describe it
in more detail later.  For the moment, try this:  In
/boot/loader.conf, set

hw.acpi.verbose="1"
hw.acpi.disable_on_reboot="0"

Now reboot the computer, using a verbose boot.  Save the dmesg output
and look for any new acpi-related messages that weren't present in the
last dmesg you posted.  acpi-related errors will usually consist of
strings starting with AE_.  For example, you could see something like:

pcib4: could not get PCI interrupt routing table for \\_SB_.PCI0.BR12
- AE_NOT_FOUND

Let us see them if there are any.  Now try the following:

shutdown -p now
shutdown -h now
shutdown -r now

You'll have to cut power manually if your computer fails to execute
any of them properly.  What happens in each case -- what messages are
printed on the console?

Now try dropping to a shallow sleep state:

acpiconf -s 1

Again, what happens, and what messages, if any appear?
