I'm trying to get APM to work (ACPI makes the kernel crap itself when I 
insert or remove a pcmcia card into my Armada m700 notebook) and load 
the apm.ko from loader.conf.  However, it doesn't seem to create the 
necessary device entry /dev/apm, and apmd and apm(8) complain about 
that.  What's the proper way to enable apm on 5.3-STABLE?  Or, any way 
to enable it at all?  Do I have to compile the driver into the kernel 
instead?

mkb.
