Is it possible to set a macppc machine to automatically reboot after power failure?

OpenBSD seems to have this working in OpenBSD 4.1:

<http://www.openbsd.org/41.html>
"The OpenBSD/macppc platform now automatically turns the machine back on following an unexpected loss of power."

Is it some sort of OpenFirmware thing?

There's a bit for it in nvram, Apple likes to call it 'file server mode'. Not sure you can set it from OF.

have fun
