	Hello.  NetBSD-3 used ACPI subsystem version 20040217, or something
like that.  NetBSD-4 uses one from 2006.  I wonder if it's possible that
NetBSD-4 is trying to use features in your BIOS which aren't particularly
well implemented?  In other words, do you have the latest BIOS on your
machine?  Many years ago, I used to work on Compaq machines a lot, and it
was common to run into BIOS bugs with various OS's from time to time.
	Another thing you might look at, assuming you have the latest BIOS
available for your machine, are your BIOS OS settings.  Is it set to
"Windows" or "Unixware" or "other?"
I'd try booting with this setting on various choices to see what breaks
differently, or, gasp, in hopes that one of them works.

-thanks
