DragonFly tries to converse with the MB ACPI, but can be
expected to do its own scan of buggy or not-fully-compliant
MB ACPI implementation and (I am guessing) all add-on
peripherals not 'known' to the MB ACPI tables.

There are configuration settings you can modify,
- start here:

- or here for older, pre-ACPI systems and peripherals..
