> Is there a way to disable acpi during the boot process of the install > CD? I had the same problem and got the following answer in the BSD forums: Just disable the ACPI modules when starting. To do this, press a key (not enter!) when the bootloader is counting down to start the kernel. At the prompt, type: unset acpi_load boot and chances are that it will work correctly (had the same problem with my own laptop). After the installation is complete, restart the computer using the same method to not make it crash, and make the change permanent by adding code:hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" to /boot/device.hints.
