Julian, Did you try to add the following line to your /boot/kernel.conf file? en apm and make sure the file ends with a q all by itself on a line. Unfortunately I have quite some issues with either apm or acpi on my Dell laptop as well when installing FBSD 5.2; it stops during boot when a battery is connected and ACPI not disabled. It crashes on resume and my 3Com PCMCIA ethernet card stops working sometimes, needing an ifconfig down; ifconfig up. Maybe the PC-card problem is not apm/ACPI related?
