Hi Vidor,
Did you use the 'shutdown -p' command? Coming from a Linux background,
you're probably used to just using 'shutdown -h'. On FreeBSD that does
exactly what it says and halts the system... you need the -p flag to turn
off the power. Make sure power management is turned on in your BIOS as
well.
Cheers,
Scott
