Just a note, but using apm is rarely a solution to using acpi because
for a lot of people (me included) the box doesn't work at all without
acpi support, interrupt routing and/or timecounter support is screwed to
the point that FreeBSD doesn't work.

ACPI isn't a power management tool, that's just one small aspect of it.
