Hello,
A bit of introduction: as most FreeBSD beginner users (I suppose), I come from Linux.
I want to run FreeBSD on a Sony PCG-C1VN laptop as stated in the thread name, and it is pretty ancient. This is a side project for myself, I want a fun old painful to use portable terminal running modern secure Unix-like OS.
Because of it's age, I failed at getting Xorg working on Linux (Gentoo), because mach64 driver has been deprecated there for years, if not decades, and I didn't find a way to glue it on (not even all the sources are available now).
However, FreeBSD shows some possibility to actually use it, so I am giving it a try. But I have several issues:
1) My USB port doesn't work,
I suppose this may be why I do not get usb devices to work, as it looks like USB bridge to me (Intel 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI) https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/8086/7113
2) It won't poweroff or reboot, no matter if I
3) I am trying to compile a custom kernel on a separate machine (qemu VM) hoping to integrate mach64 driver, solve some of the issues and get a bit lighter OS (128MB of ram -16MB for CPU compatibility layer -24MB for GPU = not much), but I keep getting errors like
and if I disable
I compile with
Source downloaded via
Sooo, what do I do next with any of this problems?
Thanks to everyone in advance.

pciconf -l
told me there was no driver attached to:- Transmeta SDRAM controller https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/1279/0396
- Transmeta "BIOS scratchpad" https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/1279/0397
- TI TSB43AA22 IEEE-1394 Controller (PHY/Link Integrated) https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/104c/8021

. But in dmesg.boot there are lines usbus0 on uhci0
pci0: <bridge> at device 7.3 (no driver attached)
I suppose this may be why I do not get usb devices to work, as it looks like USB bridge to me (Intel 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI) https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/8086/7113

poweroff
or init 0
, it does it's thing, gives some output, CPU fan turns off, some time passes with nothing on screen changing, then it writes uhci_interrupt: resume detect
, CPU fan starts again and system hangs. The next boot (or multiple tries) hang on SDRAM controller initialisation, but several reboots from bootloader seem to allow booting again3) I am trying to compile a custom kernel on a separate machine (qemu VM) hoping to integrate mach64 driver, solve some of the issues and get a bit lighter OS (128MB of ram -16MB for CPU compatibility layer -24MB for GPU = not much), but I keep getting errors like
/usr/src/sys/dev/e1000/if_em.h:91:10: fatal error: 'ifdi_if.h' file not found
,and if I disable
ifdi
NICs since I can sacrifice them, /usr/src/sys/dev/agp/agppriv.h:49:10: fatal error: 'agp_if.h' file not found
I compile with
