I think this is the case with 9600 - it's always behaved this way and I've
no (other) reason to be suspicious of the battery (you usually get a warning
in that several power button presses are required to start it).
Anyway all my machines power are on & active 24/7 - even those running MacOS
;-?
One day I might try to figure out something that will work - because it _is_
possible to change the vars using BootVars and get one 'reboot' into OF
screen/kbd with the new params.
