1.1     ! mspo        1: If you have ATX hardware, for various reasons, you might want your box to poweroff by itself when you shut it down. To achieve this you have to enable [apm(8)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?apm+8+NetBSD-current) in the kernel. Here's how to do it: 
        !             2: 
        !             3: **Contents**
        !             4: 
        !             5: [[!toc]]
        !             6: 
        !             7: #  Obtaining the Sources 
        !             8: 
        !             9: If you are running 3.0, you can get the Sources from the NetBSD FTP Server or from a [Mirror](Get BSD) close to you. If you are running current, you should check out the Sources from a CVS Mirror close to you.

        !            14:     # tar -zxf syssrc.tgz
        !            15:

        !            18: 
        !            19: Edit the file `/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf` and uncomment _apm_ to enable APM, it should look like:

        !            23: 
        !            24: Alternatetively, you might want to customize (uncomment) these options: 
        !            25:     
        !            26:     # Tuning for power management, see apm(4) for more details.
        !            27:     #options        APM_NO_IDLE             # Don't call BIOS CPU idle function
        !            28:     #options        APM_V10_ONLY            # Use only the APM 1.0 calls
        !            29:     #options        APM_NO_POWEROFF         # Don't power off on halt(8)

        !            48:     
        !            49: 
        !            50: Now when you shutdown the box it should poweroff by itself, without the need for the power button to be pressed.
