Solved Stuck at atrtc0 - FreeBSD 14.1

I am trying to boot both FreeBSD 13 and 14.1 on a HP system and it isn't letting me get past this:

atrtc0: Warning couldn't map I/O.
atrtc0: BLA BLA F U USER I WON'T WORK AND I WILL JUST STAY STUCK UNRESPONSIVELY BECAUSE THAT IS SO HELPFUL!! ?
atrtc0: Can't map interrupt.
atrtc0: non-PNP ISA device will be removed.


I tried the age old solution (specifically this one
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2009-February/003329.html) of tweaking /boot/device.hints but it isn't budging this time.
I only commented the IRQ line.

Any ideas what I should do next?
I recollect doing this for hwpstate [hint.hwpstate_intel.0.disabled=1]
What is my boot command to disable atrtc0 ?

P.S. I recall some Intel boards having an issue [https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/hwpstate_intel-issue-seems-to-be-fixed.87205/] up till FBSD 13 and 14 had fixed it but seems like there is no end to such kind of errors.
 
I did the following


set hint.atrtc.0.disabled=1
set hint.atrtc.1.disabled=1


But it then stopped at acpi_syscontainer1 and 0

So I did this:

set hint.acpi_syscontainer.0.disabled=1
set hint.acpi_syscontainer.1.disabled=1




Now it is stopping at keyboard

I cannot be disabling the keyboard. This is not the way to go.
The messages also said that non-PNP devices will be removed in FreeBSD GENERIC. Does it make sense to try a snapshot? Anyone?
 
I think I just deleted my last response. I did not update the BIOS.
I solved it by running FBSD 15 snapshot which booted successfully. So I compared the hints file from it and changed isa to acpi, also commented a line and then my old USB with FBSD13 just booted fine.
