Did not work for me
Authored by: SOX on Nov 18, '05 09:42:51AM

I tried using the
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1
as detailed in the link to induce hiberantion without removing the battery. This failed. I did not get any "safe sleep" entry in the system log or the wake-up screen.

The only deviation I made from the directions was typing the command all on one line:
sudo nvram nvramrc='" /" select-dev " msh" encode-string " has-safe-sleep" property unselect'

since tsch would not let me break it into 3 lines.

I was an idiot and did not reboot.
Work of advice: Don't do this with an external monitor and the hibernate mode set to 1 instead of 3. if you do then you have to open up the powerbook to restart it every time and you cannot operate it with the lid closed!
