for a in /dev/hd[a-z]; do /sbin/hdparm -Y $a; done
/bin/sleep 1
/sbin/halt -d -f -i -p -h
works without a glitch - libc & co. is already in memory due to running
other code, hdparm is read during first pass through the loop, and cat
brings /sbin/halt into the memory. And as root filesystem is mounted
read-only at that time, there are of course no atime updates pending from
these accesses.
