Currently, this does not seem to be possible in FreeBSD. apm is not a solution for me, because my BIOS (old) does not support APM stuff and I want to be able use to machine normally after a power-down command to the IDE harddrive. I've tried to hack in support for this feature myself by sending ATA command 0xe6. The disk powers down, but then FreeBSD hangs, and that's not what I wanted :-) Of course, this wish is not high-priority at all. If anyone knows how to create this functionality, I'd greatly appreciate it. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
