Dear Nate Puri,

Have you tried enabling apm in /etc/rc.conf ?

Anyway, you might want to have a look at rc.conf(5).

I do utilize "apm" ... well, actually, in order to use "shutdown -p"
in some scripts of mine for my homebox; however, that box is NOT a
laptop.

I hope this helps all the same,
Salvo
