I'm using:

	include "arch/i386/conf/GENERIC.MP"

	options         MPACPI                  # configure CPUs and APICs using ACPI
						# (acpi at mainbus must also be enabled)
	options         ACPIVERBOSE             # verbose ACPI device autoconfig messages
	acpi0           at mainbus0

for the kernel config file on a supermicro e7505 board here.  I can't
recall if I tried MPBIOS, but this setup works just fine.
