cat /sbin/halt > /dev/null
cat /bin/sleep > /dev/null
for a in /dev/hd[a-z]; do /sbin/hdparm -Y $a; done
/bin/sleep 1
/sbin/halt -d -f -i -p -h

works without a glitch - libc & co. is already in memory due to running
other code, hdparm is read during first pass through the loop, and cat 
brings /sbin/halt into the memory. And as root filesystem is mounted 
read-only at that time, there are of course no atime updates pending from 
these accesses.
