Use the source, Keith :-)
You need to pass the kernel apm=smp-power-off at boot time. I did it this way so that it is hard to do by default, as it is not strictly safe - it just seems to work for lots of folks. I figured if I made it so hard to do by accident, the Linus would actually add it to the standard kernel :-)
