Description

it would be a good idea to disable ACPI on embedded environments as alix etc dont support it and the warning is always displayed by freebsd on boot.

just needs this line

hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"

in

/boot/device.hints

to disable it if embedded is detected, consider this a feature request or so to avoid the warning on freebsd.

Could maybe be a checkbox instead, as plenty of people run embedded on hardware that supports ACPI just fine.

Alix hardware mentioned here is really old and I don't believe we need to disable ACPI on any modern hardware
