Re: Debian 3.0 on AS1000A 5/333 won't shutdown/reboot
This is also under 2.4.x possible (2.4.20-ev6 in my case):
modprobe srm_env
cd /proc/srm_environment/named_variables
ls
auto_action boot_osflags booted_dev char_set language
boot_dev boot_reset booted_file dump_dev license
boot_file bootdef_dev booted_osflags enable_audit tty_dev
