Default [solved] config /bsd

I've been trying to disable apm for the past few days with no luck, I have updated to -current twice and from two different mirrors.

Typically I would:
#mv /bsd /bsd.old (reboot)
boot> config -e -o /bsd /bsd.old (then disable apm)
now I get howto: bad option: e

I have also tried config -ef w/o no results. My only resort is either A. grab stable and build from source which is not ideal on this slower machine B. Wipe it completely and try again with -current. Perhaps someone can point out something that I have overlooked?

thanks,
tls

Here's your problem:

You are confusing a standard userland program, config(8), with the boot time User Kernel Config (UKC) facility, described in boot_config(8). On i386/amd64 archs, you enter UKC from "boot>" prompt by booting a kernel with -c option.

At the boot> prompt, OpenBSD is not yet running, so you cannot run a program stored in /usr/sbin.

Reviewing both the config(8) manpage & Section 5.9 of the FAQ would also be beneficial.
