FYI, I've just found out that this somewhat annoying "feature" is
disabled if you compile a kernel with ACPI instead of APM support.
At least, that's with NetBSD 1.6ZD but I guess it works with
older versions as well.
Though, "shutdown -r now" or "reboot" won't work then (for me).
Fortunately, "shutdown -p now" does work with ACPI too - which
is more important for me.
