Hi All I have created a FW / Router on a P2 233MHz, 128mb RAM 4gb HDD running freeBSD 5.2.1 As the main purpose of the machine is to protect the always on ADSL connection with a firewall and NAT internet access for the internal LAN the computer is always left on - I am sure this is extremely normal... Unfortunately this is quite noisy with the drive going all the time I have searched the handbook and I couldn't find any reference for powering down the HDD - although many other devices / interfaces etc I have also looked up the APM and ACPI man pages with no luck.. Can this be done? Many regards Chris
