I can confirm that, but then my machine has never had netbsd switch its power
off, I had just assumed it had never been written.

Mine as of about four days ago at home, but in the sources I've got lying
around here at  work (1.0-current from Dec 1 1995), I notice that there's a
#define DB2O_v2PowerOff 0x04 in /sys/arch/mac68k/mac68k/via.h, and there does
seem to be code in via.c (via_shutdown()) which should do this, and it seems to
get called from boot() when the arguments has RB_HALT set. I dunno, maybe it
should work. I do seem to remember someone saying on the list a few months back
that their IIsi was hanging while attempting to ring the bell on shutdown...
