Current, ACPI and my Compac EVO N800c

[Gunnar Flygt]

Hello!

Things are getting better as far as ACPI support in CURRENT and
my ol' Compaq NEVO800c concerns. Now the dmesg looks as follows:

panic: Root mount failed, startup aborted.

So it gets a lot longer in the process. I don't know if anyone has any use
of this to make the ACPI work even better with Compaq laptops, but here
it is anyway.

I also got a mail from Bakul Shah who had made it work with some tweaked
Linux code that he loaded in /boot/loader.conf

But if that works (as he say it does) Then it should be integrated into
FreeBSD-CURRENT! Or?
