Follow-up Comment #3, bug #10728 (project grub):
Here's my current patch. Usage:
kernel /boot/kernel/kernel
loadenv /boot/device.hints
Note: kernel MUST be compiled with acpi builtin ("device acpi" in config
file). Theoricaly, you should be able to load it as a module
(/boot/kernel/acpi.ko), but this requires FreeBSD.hint.acpi.0.* variables to
contain correct data.
I've added code to fetch hint.acpi values from BIOS memory space
(stage2/biosacpi.c), but for some reason it gets the wrong stuff. Correct
variables are sort of like:
hint.acpi.0.oem=PTLTD
hint.acpi.0.revision=1
hint.acpi.0.rsdt=<address in hex>
It still needs a lot of cleanup. In particular, the function and variable
names (added in the former patch) are very cryptic and difficult to figure
out what they do (grub_fstenv, grub_nxtenv and that lot of two-letter
variables). The code to parse device.hints (grub_loadenv), which I added, is
quite dirty as well.
