[OpenIndiana-discuss] Shutdown that never completes

[Robbie Crash]

This is an oft-reported issue that I recall traces its roots back to
dropping SPARC hardware down to firmware mode. It also causes VMs to peg
their CPU. The only workaround I've seen anyone come up with is from this
list a few weeks ago which was given here:
http://openindiana.org/pipermail/openindiana-discuss/2012-April/007732.html,
but the next reply said it wasn't working for them.

I don't know that there's a real fix for it though.

Seconds to the drop, but it seems like hours.
