Heh, I have apm and acpi in the kernel at the same time right now on my laptop, and it seems to be working fine. In FreeBSD 4.x my statclock is broken, but in -CURRENT, both rtc0 and the other clock are there, just as they should be. Would taking the apm out of the kernel cause this to stop working? Also, maybe a suggestion for Mr. Losh, Maybe there should be a set of -CURRENT install disks with cardbus instead of regular pcmcia; I had to check out a 5.0 tree on my 4.4-STABLE machine and compile a cardbus kernel and put it on the 1st boot disk in order to install. Would it be to hard to generate both floppy disk immages in a make release?
