Does 2.x have a sysctl for messing with the state of the numlock? I hate
having it on.
I hacked the 1.1.x syscons driver to have it off by default. :)
I'd hate to have to do that for 2.x.
Also, for machines w/o multisyncing monitors (including those using the
comconsole) it might be nice for the system to beep when it is ready to be
turned off. There is a cngetc() call in the 1.1.5 kernel which waits for a
key to be pressed when the system is ready to be powered down. I put a
'printf("\a")' before it to get a tone out of the box when it is ready to
be turned off (the beep never stops, because interrupts/timers are
disabled?). Is there any feature in 2.x which implements this beep?
