I also want to get APM working on my FreeBSD box.  I have 4.1.1 release.

Following your instructions, I've checked the following:

In /etc/rc.conf, I have:

apm_enable="YES"

I'm assuming that this is the same as enable_apm="YES" as you suggested?

I've checked that APM is enabled in my BIOS.

But what do you mean by add:

en apm
 to /boot/kernel.conf

??

I've looked in my /boot directory and there is no kernel.conf file.

Check that APM is enabled in your BIOS and add:

en apm
 to /boot/kernel.conf

also check that:

enable_apm="yes"

is in your /etc/rc.conf

I would like FreeBSD (rel4.1.1) to shutdown the computer using halt -p (is
that even the correct arguement?!) without having to press the power button.
The generic kernel already has "device apm0" set up so.. I have no idea.
Thanks
