VGA console doesn't deactivate at poweroff



Hi NetBSD folks,
    I just recently installed 5.1-amd64 as a reference system on my
amd64 machine, and support seems really good, but one thing I noted
was that the VGA console port doesn't deactivate (i.e. power off) when
the rest of the machine powers off running shutdown -p now on the
system. I was wondering if this was by design and if there's some bit
I need to twiddle to get the VGA console to power off or if this is a
bug of some kind. FreeBSD powers off the VGA port when shutting down
though.
    I'm really new to NetBSD (been a FreeBSD user for years though),
so I haven't gotten that far really with customizing the system, so
one can assume it's still relatively vanilla.
    Please let me know what info you guys need to figure out what
state my system is in.
Thanks!
-Garrett
