Everything seems to be working just fine (the FTP Passive net install worked just perfectly), except that even when I build an OS with apm0 (not disabled as is the default), change the sync timer to 1800 seconds instead of 30, and do "apmconf -e", it still doesn't spin down the disk drive. I configured the APM stuff using Windows98 (which came on the system) and the disk spins down under Windows98 just fine. When I boot FreeBSD the disk never spins down. Any ideas? Any place I can get info about APM 1.2? I tried setting the apm0 flags to 0x11 to try to force 1.1 mode, but it still seems to realize it's really 1.2. Maybe it's not forcing 1.1 mode correctly. /raj To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
