All the things in FreeBSD are so easy and smooth? First I found that my /dev/apm was not configured. I've enabled it in rc.conf but same result. From internet I've found that I have to enable it in kernel, compiling support for apm or, at boot time, with "boot -c" I was able to enable it, but just for that session. After that, because I did not want at this time to compile the kernel, I put this line in /boot/kernel.conf en apm0 and everything went fine, and now I can really monitor how cool FreeBSD runs (this is not a joke). Thank you again. Cristian Salan >> Hello, I'm running FreeBSD 4.7 on an old laptop, Toshiba Tecra 730CDT >> without X, mostly for learning purposes.
