To poweroff you need to type either "shutdown -h now" or "halt". The computer
then shuts down, and in the case of an ATX board, powers down (if it's built
into the kernel, but stock kernel should have it). In the case of an AT board,
you get the message that tells you to power off the computer, comparable to the
"It is safe now to turn off your computer message" you get after a windows
shutdown.
