Isn't "hibernation" on the Toshiba Satellites a Windoze thing,
rather than an APM function ?
At least that's the impression I get from Toshiba's lame documentation.

As for APM suspend/resume, I think I've managed a stable suspend/resume
configuration on my 4030CDT -- the o/s (3.3-R/PAO3) was last restarted
several days ago, and has been through a dozen or so suspend/resume
cycles without difficulty.
Specifically:
  BIOS v7.40.
  PAO3-19991007 patches, apm flags 0x0, options "VM86"
  All suspends while ttyv0 (vidcontrol -s 1) is displayed.
  Suspend with "apm -z".
  Resume with the power switch.
  APM "Execute hook" messages enabled from kernel's apm.c.

The last bit was tried after running this config for a day with APM_DEBUG
enabled and no failed resumes.  I have the newer PAO3 patches,
so I'll probably look at this again on the weekend.

Only problem now (except for no sound support)
is that "sysctl kern.boottime" is not updated correctly
following the resume event.
