So far every mainboard with ACPI support I've seen so far behaves as
stated above. AFAIK you can't override the "press for ~4secs to turn the
system off" in software on those systems.

Feel free to point out, that Tyan boards don't turn the system off, even
when you hold the power-button longer than 10 seconds. I'm not reluctant
to learn something new.

Bye,
Alexander.
