 disabling acpi might help. it's certainly worth a try(those

Ok so I set the acpi to disabled and it still fails. I verified no power
management options are turned on. I also ensured plug and play OS was
disabled too. The compooter still won't get past the BTX loader. Something
about a Gateway ALR 9200 is not liked by freebsd of any flavor. 

I still get the same BTX halted right after I choose any option on the
boot-up freebsd menu except 6.

I'm really lost here.
