	The ACPI DSDT table embended in your BIOS has some errors which 
prohibit it's correct use.

	You can try to repair it - e.g. extract and disassemble it (using 
iasl), correct the error, compile it (again with iasl).

	Then modify the /boot/loader.conf :
acpi_dsdt_load="YES"
acpi_dsdt_type="acpi_dsdt"
acpi_dsdt_name=<path to corrected compiled DSDT file>

	The FreeBSD's ACPI subsystem will use it in place of incorrect in-BIOS 
table.

	The syntactics errors in DSDT table are common for today's BIOSes ...
