The asr management support was removed before 5.3 (see rev. 1.55 and 
rev. 1.60 of asr.c for the reason) and added back in last week (see rev. 
1.66/1.64.2.1 of asr.c).  Update to RELENG_5 (currently 5.4-PRERELEASE) 
for support.  I tested it on my 2100S a few days ago and it worked great.

Because 5.x uses devfs, your rdtpi0 link will disappear after you 
reboot.  Instead of using "ln -s", add the following to /etc/devfs.conf 
to make the link permanent:

# Make asr-utils work
link    asr0    rdpti0

ports/72520 should be closed.
