                  Look here!

My guess is that you've left the line apm_enable=yes out from your 
/etc/rc.conf. Put it in there! :-)

If you have it in /etc/rc.conf, check your kernel config to see if it's 
enabled in there. I believe it is disabled in GENERIC, so you have to 
enable it. This is for 4.X of course. I don't know about 5.X
