    I realize this is probably a VMware issue, but was wondering if
    anyone here has experience getting -stable to be happy on ESX 2.1.
    I've managed to get 8 VMs humming along and their agent software
    (incl. memory manager) functioning in 5.4, but am having difficulty
    getting a shutdown command from the ESX console to instantiate a
    shutdown in the FBSD VMs. Likewise, issuing a shutdown -p now makes
    it all the way past halt but the host doesn't apparently interpret
    the power down signal. Ideas?

    Thanks much,
    -t
