Google ist your friend:

Searching for "FreeBSD ACPI autoload failed - no such file or directory" yielded:

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=923898+0+archive/2002/freebsd-current/20020317.freebsd-current

which had as a follow-up:

and

So, perhaps the media/build you have are corrupted.  Which 5.2 are you trying to install? RELEASE, CURRENT?

I've got RELEASE (specifically, the i386 miniinst iso-image), and it worked for me.
