>Description:
loader.conf doesn't seem to recognize hint.apic.0.disabled="YES", although
it does honor hint.apic.0.disabled=1

Note: I do not have this problem with boot_verbose -- boot_verbose="YES"
works as expected.
>How-To-Repeat:
Add hint.apic.0.disabled="YES" to loader.conf and reboot. Observe that APIC
is not disabled.

Add hint.apic.0.disabled="1" to loader.conf and reboot. APIC *is* disabled.
>Fix:
Change the parsing for hint.apic.0.disabled or loader.conf in general;
if this can't be fixed, then at least document the valid values for truth 
in loader.conf(5).

State-Changed-Why:  
that is wrong usage, but you already figured that out. 
loader.conf(5), device.hints(5) and other manpages document how to use  
hints. Also please have a look at the handbook. 
As we don't see a good reason to change hints usage, we're closing this PR. 
Anyway, thank you for reporting.
