What version of FreeBSD? What hardware? "shutdown -p now" does it on compatible machinery, so is it likely that either your hardware is not supported for ACPI? Checked "man acpi" or "man shutdown" ? "hardware support required"! Short of hacking together ACPI/APM support for your particular motherboard, or replacing said motherboard, I'm not sure. Generally I see this on older machines when using FreeBSD 5.X ... That's probably the best I can do for ya, given the lack of details. Maybe a Real Hacker(TM) will chime in with some new info?
