Comment(by hawke@hawkesnest.net):
Can't it be assumed that any time we're at the filo prompt, it's safe to shut down? I would certainly hope so. The only time it might be unsafe is while nvram is being written, and that's 1. a very small window, 2. very rare, and 3. not happening while at a prompt. I think it might be better to print "Attempting to power down...", run the poweroff routine, and then return to the commandline.
