Actually, the behavior you have now is 90% of what is supposed to
happen. Something was wrong if you weren't seeing the daemons get
killed, syncing of disks, etc. It looks like the problem is that
you're getting a shutdown even when you want a reboot. Well, the
laptop types should be able to suggest some kernel options that might
get you somewhere there, but it sounds like cycling power at the end of
the "shutdown" will get you most of what you want. Obviously, since I
don't have a laptop running FreeBSD, your mileage may vary . . . --
