This is interesting: I've installed FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE on that laptop. However, every time I try to check the system's status with 'top', it crashes. I suspected this was due to the absence of a battery, so I tested this theory with the command sysctl hw.acpi.battery and - boom - experienced the same crash.
It seems that FreeBSD does not function well on a laptop without a battery.
Can anyone suggest a workaround or solution? I'd like to avoid re-inserting the 9-years-old worn-out battery.
