The installation kernel is a ramdisk kernel, running in single user mode.
This is a different kernel than the GENERIC kernel you installed, and you
are running in multi-user mode, with more than one or two processes in 
operation, including active use of peripheral devices.

(You may have installed a ramdisk kernel during your installation -- if you
selected "bsd.rd" during install, you will find that file in your root
directory.  You can boot it instead of "bsd" if needed for rescue or
maintenance.)

As I mentioned, you may want to see what the i386 laptop database has to say
about your make/model, if anything.  

To see if you can get suspend working properly, your laptop needs to support 
APM, and you will need to start the apmd daemon running.  See the man page 
for apmd(8).

Once you have completed testing, to enable apmd at startup, add something like:

   apmd_flags="" 

to /etc/rc.conf.local.  The man page and your testing will help you determine
what flags to add here, if any.
