Description Schaich Alonso 2012-01-06 21:30:13 UTC 
APM(8) refers to APM(4) in it's SEE ALSO section. However APM(4) was not installed here.
I assume that this is due to APM(4) being in
share/man/man4/man4.i386/apm.4
i.e. it probably only gets installed on i386.

Fix: easiest solution probably is to sed- or patch-away the references to APM(4) in usr.sbin/apm/apm.8 out during installation on non-i386.

patch is attached. usr.sbin/apm/Makefile needs still to be modified, as I don't know how to do arch checks

Patch attached with submission follows:
How-To-Repeat: man apm (on amd64)

I believe apm(4) is an i386-specific device.  At least, since very old

Move apm(4) to i386 section, since it is i386-specific.
