I recently picked up an HP5460 AMD64 laptop, and I recently wanted
to try FreeBSD on it. Unfortunately, both the x86 and AMD64
versions will not boot, actually shutting the power down shortly
after the kernel finishes loading. I've tried 5.3 and 4.8 with
similar results, also cycling through disabling ACPI, safe mode,
and going to the boot loader prompt and manually turning off
whatever I can think of.
Does anyone have any additional suggestions (either to boot it, or
provide diagnostics), or will I be trapped to run Windows on this
rather powerful machine? :)
It's infamous Compaq/HP laptop problem.

FYI, all the necessary fixes are integrated in 5-STABLE now.
