The SPARC LX in question is completely headless... no keyboard/monitor,
and no serial attached... only power, SCSI, and network... I am curious as

Is this a new addition to the kernel for the 2.4.x series?
Or, would you recommend any PROM settings I could set to get the current
default behavior of my LX to really power-off when I shutdown?
