how to suspend/wake-up a FreeBSD machine?

Hello!

I managed to suspend some of my computers a few times
(using
either ``zzz'' or ``acpiconf -s 1''), but I could never
successfully
wake the system up after this, requiring a full reboot.

What's the proper procedure? I tried the power-button (no
effect) and
hitting random keyboard keys (no effect). How is it supposed
to work?

Thanks!

The power button or lid is the most common way to wake. 
Since
suspend/resume support needs debugging on many machines, it
may not work
for you.

That depends largely on the hardware - on e.g. ThinkPads you
need to
press the 'Fn' button to wake up the laptop after sleep.
