freebsd power off automatically

[yew chin]

dear Joshua,
i'm sorry, i forget to mention that i already comment
out the default apm0 disable line
i insert a new "device apm0" after that
i can see apm0 in dmesg
but when i enter "shutdown -p now", the system just
reboot instead of turning off the power
i also put apm_enable="YES" and apmd_enable="YES" in
rc.conf
