The new sysvinit works a bit differently than the
one that came with slackware. You could read the documentation
on it ;) And yes, sysvinit switches to runlevel 6 (6 is reboot,
0 is halt) and expects you to provide the appropriate shutdown
scripts. Look in sysvinit-2.60/debian/etc for the vanilla ones.
It's just a lot more System V like ;)

Cheers,
