 Can you give more debug info?  The kernel prints out copious 
 messages to the screen when it's loading.  If they go by too 
 quickly to catch, you can press Scroll-Lock, and then either 
 use the arrow keys or the PageUp/PageDown keys to navigate.

OK here is the info I get:

Google ist your friend:

Searching for FreeBSD ACPI autoload failed - no such file or directory yielded:

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=923898+0+archive/2002/freebsd-current/20020317.freebsd-current

which had as a follow-up:

and

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1041883+0+archive/2002/freebsd-current/20020317.freebsd-current


So, perhaps the media/build you have are corrupted.  Which 5.2 are you trying to 
install? RELEASE, CURRENT?

I've got RELEASE (specifically, the i386 miniinst iso-image), and it worked for me.

 5.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso
 

Can you download and try 5.2-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso?

We'll see if there's a difference - if so, then it lies with the iso image (did you 
check the md5sum before burning?).

Dear Kat,

I have recently install FreeBSD 5.2 (Release version) and ACPI is 
working just resonable good for me.

Could it be that your system doesn't support it?
