gzipped disassembled DSDT-table from FSC Futro S400 thin-client

This is most probably an ACPI-issue with powerd.
I am unsure , whether powerd actually belongs to the kernel in FreeBSD, it might belong to the misc-section.
Because I am currently dealing with CPU-frequency-scaling and ACPI on LInux, I can post a disassembled DSDT ACPI-table here. Hope this helps fixing the issue.
For detailed hardware-information about FSC Futro S400 please see here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=694344
and here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=732060
The latter link points to some information concerning the FreeBSD-kernel of Debian GNU/kFreeBSD and also has some debugging-information including powerd.

Some of these thin-clients don't have a DVI-port and upgrading RAM to more than 512 MB is a bit costly.
So they would be nice headless nano-servers, if FreeBSD worked on them properly.
Turning off ACPI is a suboptimal solution.

Try out my current Debian-image for Futro S400 or any 32-bit PC:

Instant-Debian image for thin-clients
---------------------------------------

Cucumber-flavoured instant Linux, just add water ...
====================================================

This is the legacy version of my instant-wheezy image.
It should be workable for most 32-bit PCs, most thin-clients with or
without PAE, and it also should work with any NIC, or in virtual machines.
The most common criticism about Debian stable is the outdated software,
so backported packages were pinned to be preferred over otherwise stable
versions, and the default 3.2-kernel was removed.
Minimum hardware requirements are: 256 MB RAM, 512 MB recommended, 400
MHz i486-CPU, 16 GB CompactFlash or bootable USB2.

Instructions:
-Extract the image, then dd it on CompactFlash-card or onto
USB2-memory-stick:
$ unxz instant-wheezy-32-de-bpo.img.xz
$ dd if=instant-wheezy-32-de-bpo.img of=/dev/sdx
-in order to use Privoxy from localhost, basic configuration is
required, example files are provided.
-then configure the browser to use localhost on port 8118 as proxy for
both HTTP and HTTPS.
-when using it as web-proxy from the LAN, typically a static IP has to
be set for the server and the listen-address accordingly.
