You need to add a line to /boot/device.hints to disable acpi:

hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"

FWIW, I've been seeing the same problem on both my 32-bit Athlon box
and on my Athlon 64, both running 5.4-STABLE.

One thing I've discovered is that the machine will reboot properly if
booted in single-user mode.  It appears to be only a problem when
shutting down from multi-user mode.  The shutdown process gets as far
as outputting the "Uptime:" line, and then just hangs.
