The PC doesn't have a useful means for getting back to the resident firmware, but many other systems do. That's what RB_HALT is meant to do, while RB_POWEROFF is meant to power the system down. The two are mutually exclusive. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
