Hi.
I'm having some difficulty getting APM and power
control working in FreeBSD 3.3
I've built a kernel with APM enabled in the config
file and enabled it in
rc.conf, however apmd says it's starting up, but ps
never shows it running.

From /etc/rc.conf:
apm_enable="YES"

bash-2.03# apm -s
apm: can't open /dev/apm: Device not configured

bash-2.03# ls -al apm*
crw-rw----  1 root  operator   39,   0 Jan 21 15:24
apm
crw-rw----  1 root  operator   39,   8 Jan 21 15:24
apmctl

I did a MAKEDEV in /dev, just in case, but the
major/minor numbers came out the same.

What I'd like to do is have   shutdown  -p   work
properly and I'd also like to
intercept the power switch so I can shutdown
gracefully.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks.
