You mean they don't even have ATX "soft" power buttons?
Have you tried something like this on an ATX computer:
	MOV     AX,5301
	XOR     BX,BX
	INT     15
	MOV     AX,5307
	MOV     BX,0001
	MOV     CX,0003
	INT     15
	INT     20

It works for me (under DOS and Win95), although I don't need it because
my computer has a soft power button in front and a true power switch
back on the power source (of course I wish the real switch was in front).

What do you mean "can't dual-boot"?  That sounds like a software
problem to me.
