And thats all, folk. Once I was sitting 4 minutes near my PC and
waiting for power off. Then I manually turned off the power. This
problem may repeat from time to time on 'reboot' and 'halt -p'
commands.
Yesterday I got tired of waiting and I went to watch TV. When I
returned, nothing has changed - the same message on my display, power
off did not happen.
I have use OpenBSD 4.5 and execute 'halt -p' or 'reboot' commands once
per day.
Sometimes you need to disable apm to get proper shutdowns.
At boot prompt, quickly type boot -c
Then type: disable apm
If this fixes problem, you can use config to make change permanent
