Hello again...
I'm experimenting with FreeBSD 8 right now and I like what I see; it is extremely light and fast. However, I've got an issue with ACPI vs. networking.
Due to my laptop's buggy BIOS, I have to disable ACPI in order for my ethernet card to work. That's all well and good, at least for now. What's not so well and good is that, as of FreeBSD 8.0, disabling ACPI invariably causes my / partition (UFS2) to fail to mount.
I have no idea what causes this; the message I get is something cryptic about not being able to find the partition, and me having to specify it manually. Does anyone know what is causing this and how I can fix it (other than manually specifying the partition every time I boot)?
