I *did* browse the faq and the handbook, and found nothing to tell
me how to make the 4 noisy harddisks in my system go to sleep 
after being idle for some time (except something in the handbook
about APM being of "medium priority"). So - is there any way to
make FreeBSD honour the power saving settings in my BIOS, or - 
better still - put my harddisks to sleep by itself?
