I've only enabled acpibut(4), combined with powerd(8) so the server shuts
down properly when I press the button.  Furthermore I have the optional
IPMI board for remote management, but it isn't so great.  With NetBSD 4.x
you should be able to query some hardware sensors via the new ipmi(4)
driver but I haven't tested that yet.  I briefly tested NetBSD 4.0_BETA2
but quickly ran into lfs-related panics, but NetBSD 3.1 has been running
flawlessly.
