After looking into this the poweroff.com module that is used with pxelinux does not support powering off machines without APM. I looked into booting a full Ubuntu to poweroff the node, and its just to much work to get complete in time for 1.7. We need to look into coming up with a fix for this, or just leaving it up to the power management of MAAS to turn the node off, once it notices that its on, and should be off.
