Hi ,

Okay I untarred it and changed to root. It is in my 
/home/bhorne/My_Downloads/FreeBSD/ directory. I changed to root  and ran 
make. Seemed to work fine . I ran install.  And it requested it a bunch 
of switches.  So I stopped with the install. I then figured I would try 
man smapi and it brought up the man page. It gives a brief description 
of what is there. At the bottom of the man page it says see also smapi 
(9) . I tried man 9 smapi and it came up with not found ( No entry for 
smapi in section 9 of the manual ).  I then went and checked if the 
module loaded with the install .
Slacker# ls -a sys/modules/bios/
ls: sys/modules/bios/: No such file or directory
So I need to know how to load the module.
So I am getting there I just need to get some final details.

Sincerely,
Brendhan
