There is small note on the above page that says that the computer will
lose the Server Mode setting if a a normal shutdown command sequence
is executed.
"The mode will revert to a standard personal computer if the Shutdown
command is issued."
This is apparently true also if the computer is shutdown from
Linux. To get around this, I created an initscript that executes the
proper command on boot. I figured that the only time I'll
intentionally shut the computer down is when I move it or reboot for a
new kernel. In those events, the box will go back into Server Mode
automatically.
