Thus spake Martin Husemann ("MH> ") sometime Today...

MH> Actually it is (and as far as I can tell always has been).

Default action while the machine is up and in multi-user mode is...to
do nothing.  The keyboard power button is typically only effective from
the PROM level unless you map it otherwise.

MH> It's easily customizable though, set powerd=YES in rc.conf and rmove the
MH> /etc/powerd/scripts/power_button script to make it do nothing (or replace
MH> by a script of your liking). See powerd(8) for details.

MH> Without powerd running it just initiates an imediate "halt -p" equivalent,
MH> but the new code does this with better chances of file systems being synced.
