There was another post about having to recompile the kernel as well as add
apmd_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf by the way.

I am also on Athlon (FreeBSD 4.6.2), on a home-built box with a MicroStar
MS-6167 motherboard.  Isn't there some important jumper on the board to
enable powering off via software rather than having to press the button??
