Hi,

We are looking at using FreeBSD as an "embedded OS" inside a line
of instruments we are building. I think I have a handle on all the
issues except how to cleanly handle shutdown where there is no
console, and thus no way to send a 'halt' command. The requirement
is that the user can merely turn off the power, nothing more required.

I can modify the disk setup, kernel/util code as needed, I just need some
idea for a workable solution. Has anyone delt with this problem before?
