Does the machdep.led_blink sysctl not work on a V100?

You can set it in /etc/sysctl.conf so it starts blinking once the kernel 
has loaded it; or script something in rc.local to toggle it based on 
whatever conditions you want:  sysctl -w machdep.led_blink=1

I use this on my Ultra10 firewall boxes to indicate they've at least 
attempted to boot.
