Does your motherboard use ACPI?  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?
