.Sh OVERRIDING YOUR BIOS BYTECODE
|
||||
ACPI interprets bytecode named AML, ACPI Machine Language, provided by the BIOS
|
||||
vendor as a memory image at boot time. Sometimes the AML code contains
|
||||
a problem that does not appeared in Microsoft implementation.
|
||||
So we provide a way to override it with your own AML code.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
In order to load your AML code,
|
||||
you must edit
|
||||
.Pa /boot/loader.conf
|
||||
and
|
||||
include the following lines.
|
||||
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||||
acpi_dsdt_load="YES"
|
||||
acpi_dsdt_name="/boot/acpi_dsdt.aml" #You may change the name.

In order to prepare your AML code, you will require
|

.Xr acpidump 8 ,

.Xr iasl 1
|

in devel/acpicatools port, and some ACPI knowledge.
