I have been using poweroff command (without any arguments) to power off a laptop on NetBSD 8.0_RC1 amd64.
Recently I installed 8.0 on a usb stick and notice that poweroff now reboots the laptop instead of powering off. The /etc/rc.shutdown is not altered by me and neither it is different between 8.0_RC1 and 8.0. Do not know whether it matters - 8.0 boots from a usb stick and 8.0_RC1 from native hard drive. An aside: The laptop hard drive had started showing "error reading fsbn". I presume it means disk will need a replacement soon. Hence as a precaution I switched to a usb stick based installation. The drive is barely 3 years old and also hosts Linux which has not shown any warnings. Am I right in interpretation of above error or is there something I can try with the hard drive to extend its useful life? Mayuresh
