 Ah-hah - that worked!  The delay was me testing that booting from CD,
 then upgrading my 8.2 w/ ZFS v28 system to 9.0-RC2 via freebsd-update,
 including "debug.acpi.disabled=3Dhostres" in my `/boot/loader.conf`, and
 completing the update (including performing a complete reinstall of all
 ports using portmaster).
 
 Thanks for the help, and is there anything I need to try to see what
 needs to be fixed?  Do you need information from this machine?
 
 I'm keeping the second hard-drive clear right now just in case I need to
 do some test installs.
