For what it's worth, this kind of problem isn't limited to FreeBSD.

I've got a Sony SR5K that doesn't get it right with the factory
installed Windows 2000 Pro.  If I shutdown, it will stop and the
lights go out but it is in some limbo-land that is like a hibernate
to disk from which it usually won't wake up.  About two thirds the
time I have to do the "hold the power switch for 5 seconds" to get
it to =really= turn off, and then turn it on.  About one in 20 times
I have to pull the battery, then =try= to turn it on, then reinstall
the battery and then start it.
