Powerpc64 power management control

[Jason Bacon]

Is is a PowerMac G5?

If so, this is a known issue that's not due to power consumption.  There 
seems to be something in the boot process that's not being initialized 
consistently, so after most boots, the fans ramp up after a few minutes 
or so.  I've found that rebooting has a small probability of eliminating 
the issue, so if you can get a clean boot where the fans don't go nuts 
within a few minutes, you should be OK until the next reboot.

Is their a power utility in FreeBSD or a third party utility or does anyone know if maybe IBM would have a utility for this?
