Shutdown problems on virtual PC

2008-08-01 Thread Lorin Lund

I run FreeBSD 6 under Parallesl Workstation.
When I try to shutdown with

shutdown -p now

It acts like the -p isn't there.  I'm not sure what power management
protocol Paralells Workstation uses.  Nor do I know what the
default is for FreeBSD 6 (default kernel).  What would be the next older 
power

management?  Is there some knob to turn to tell FreeBSD 6 to use
something older?  Or do I have to rebuild the kernel?

As far as I know, power management by ACPI is the default. In
order to shut down a system that does not have ACPI, but APM,
ACPI needs to be disabled in most cases, as well as APM needs
to be enabled manually. I don't know how Paralells Workstation
handles this, but older PCs (with APM, but without ACPI) can
be shut down this way.

(I hope I did understand your question as intended.)
