 Temp6 exceeds WarnMax
 Temp5 exceeds CritMax
 
 powerd will shut down the machine when a sensor goes 'critical'.
 
 Maybe the sensors do not read out correctly or NetBSD assumes a wrong
 conversion function. Can you verify that your your server really isn't
 running too hot? Often you can see the sensor readouts in BIOS or
 through IPMI.
 
 N.B. the thresholds look like being tuned for operation in a real
 air-conditioned and cooled computer center. Shutting down the machine
 when the cooling fails seems to be reasonable to me.
