<boot with hint.apm.0.disabled="1" and apm_enable="YES">

# shutdown -p now
<init shutdown, sync, etc.>
Operating system has been halted.
Press any key to reboot.
<boot with hint.apm.0.disabled="0" and apm_enable="YES">
# shutdown -p now
<init shutdown, sync, etc.>
<machine powers off>
Shutdown doesn't directly use /dev/apm. The functionality of the -p flag
is, however, dependant on apm(8) to enable APM functions. The APM functions
only get enabled by apm(8) if /dev/apm is present.
