NetBSD 5.99.54 (GENERIC) #0: Fri Jul 8 10:51:43 CEST 2011

>Description:
The manpage of shutdown mentions that shutdown -p invokes halt after
completion. According to what I see in the code, it actually invokes poweroff
rather than halt, which means shutdown -p halts the machine via ACPI if
available and otherwise acts like shutdown -h, while shutdown -h - which calls
halt - doesn't attempt to power off the machine.
