I'm also using Casper's frkit and running it shows
that things appropriate to the machines are up-to-date.
powernow is not appropriate as the machines have
32-bit Intel processors.  I've got snv_47 on an older
IBM A21p (P3-850 MHz with 512 MB at home) and a
newer IBM T43p (P-M 2.1 GHz with 2 GB at work).

I always use DHCP-NoNIS at home and at work.
I get the shutdown hang intermittently at both
locations if I don't run inetmenu by hand and select
deconfigure before running the shutdown command
(shutdown -i5 -y -g0).

I just tried making things more verbose per Tom's
suggestion by doing:

[a21p:/]# svccfg -s system/svc/restarter:default
svc:/system/svc/restarter:default> addpg options application
svc:/system/svc/restarter:default> setprop options/logging = astring: verbose
svc:/system/svc/restarter:default> exit
[a21p:/]# 

That certainly makes things chatty on the console during
boot but it doesn't seem to change anything during shutdown.

I'm a total novice at SMF and so on so I just blindly followed
his instructions assuming that the \ at the end of one line was
a continuation ...
