but don't work for my SL400. Pressing the power button never power off
the machine, nor does halt -p. Interestingly enough "sysctl -w
machdep.acpi.sleep_state=5" in single user mode make the machine
finish in DDB, not a panic() though. This was with -current from early
November. I'll sync with HEAD tomorrow and give it a new try.
