Hmmm. I've been trying to get this to happen myself, but I can't. I have
all of those options compiled in, and I'm using the latest sysvinit, but
/sbin/poweroff just halts the machine. I'm using an AOpen AX59Pro (VIA
MPV3) BIOS v1.1. Can anyone help me (off the list, unless there's a quick
answer)?

Thanks,
Danek
