`shutdown now` takes you to the singleuser mode. read the manpage:
-h The system is halted at the specified time.
...
Corresponding signal is then sent to init(8) to respectively halt,
reboot or bring the system down to single-user state (depending on
the above options).

shutdown(8) is not a FreeBSD-specific thing.
but agreed, the shudown page could be a little more explicit about
certain things.
