Re: Two minute pause at acpi.ko message on old HP laptop with 7.0-RC1

After reviewing what goes by on the screen, I think my acpi.ko message
is being displayed before *any* of the dmesg output.

For example, once the /boot/kernel/acpi.ko finally finishes, I see the
"Copyright (c) 1992-2007 The FreeBSD Project." quickly scroll by.

I was also thinking of waiting until 7.0 was finished, which I think
is later this month.
