Well, neither APM nor ACPI are supported by SPARC-based systems, but you
can achieve (1) by using "shutdown -p". Works fine for me on the Ultra 60 I
have running 6.2-RELEASE.

If you had access to the serial console of the machine, you could also shut
it down from the OpenBoot prompt by using "poweroff" once you'd halted the
OS.
