You'll need to make these changes: ==>to the kernel -- comment out the first line and add the second and recompile the kernel # Power management support (see LINT for more options) #device apm0 at nexus? disable flags 0x20 # Advanced Power Management device apm0 at nexus? flags 0x20 # Advanced Power Management ==>to the rc.conf -- add the line below apm_enable="YES" After you reboot, you should be able to use "shutdown -p now" and it will turn off the machine. Look at the dmesg after the boot to see if you see the "apm" onboard stuff. Check your BIOS too. Best regards, Jack L.
