Nate suggested I forward this to "mobile@freebsd.org".
These are some patches I've used with both 2.2.5 and 2.2.8.
They modify the shutdown code to actually turn off
power on a system shutdown. I personally use it
with my desktop machine; I find it quite convenient
to type "shutdown" and walk away knowing that the
machine will, in fact, turn itself off when it's
done cleaning up.

P.S. This is probably not the best approach. It
might be better to add a "register_poweroff_func()"
function to kern_shutdown, and have the APM code
register a power off function if an APM BIOS was
found.
P.P.S. I don't watch these lists, so email is
best: kientzle@acm.org

Nate/Tatsumi,
Just installed 2.2.8, and had to go back and re-hack
in one local customization. I'd written Nate about
this earlier, but got no response. Oh, well.
The 'feature' is an addition to the APM code so that
APM-equipped machines automatically power down on
shut-down. Quite convenient for those of us that
actually turn our FreeBSD machines off when we're
not using them. I use this with my desktop machine.
Here are the diffs:
/usr/src-2.2.5/sys/i386/apm [12:11pm]# diff apm.c apm.c-original
217,238d216

< apm_power_off(void)

< if(!sc)
< return;
<
< eax = (APM_BIOS << 8) | APM_SETPWSTATE;
< ebx = PMDV_ALLDEV;
< ecx = PMST_OFF;

}
splhigh();
if (howto & RB_HALT) {
- #ifdef APM_POWER_OFF
- apm_power_off();
- #endif
printf("\n");
printf("The operating system has halted.\n");
printf("Please press any key to reboot.\n\n");
--- 249,254 ----
And, of course, a new config option:
APM_POWER_OFF /* Use APM to turn off power on system shutdown */
I made these against 2.2.5 and am getting ready to test them
against 2.2.8.
