Just wondering if there is any facility in NetBSD 1.5 to spin down SCSI
disks when it goes into powersave mode? I suppose I don't mean when the
screen blanks, as that can happen even when the disk is in use, but when
the disk hasn't been accessed for some time.

The hard disk (salvaged from a DEC Alpha) in this Apple LC475 is rather
noisy... It would be nice to be able to leave the system up without that
incessant background noise.

Thanks

Ian
