The behaviour on recovery after power loss is a BIOS feature, and
has nothing to do with the OS installed on the machine. Your only
option is to set it in the BIOS.
It is conceivable that it might be possible to identify the
relevant bits in the CMOS memory that controls the feature, and then
use the CMOS driver in Linux to flip the bits to the right state, but
that's simply equivalent to rebooting the machine and changing the
BIOS setting. Note that the storage of BIOS settings are likely to be
highly machine-specific, and so no general-purpose tool is likely to
be safe or reliable for the job.
