Since ACPI is broken on my Toshiba Tecra A4, I decided to go for apm,
however, I'm not able to get it working yet, therefore, I seek your help
and experience on this to help me get it started. I just hate when my
machine shuts down dying on batteries, grrr!

I'm running 6.1-RELEASE-p1
ACPI is disabled with hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" in /boot/device.hints
then enabled apm by adding 

hint.apm.0.disabled="0"
#hint.apm.0.flags="0x20"

I have
device          apm
in my kernel file

apm_load="YES" has been added to my /boot/loader.conf

still apm is not working :(, I get /dev/apm not available messages
during bootup :(

Your help will be really appreciated...
