It's likely that the ACPI implementation of your BIOS has its own quirks
that have not been taken into account for in the FreeBSD ACPI
implementation. I would suggest upgrading to the latest BIOS if you are
not already there.

Not sure I fully understand here. But, if I'm reading this correctly
as: "I have problems turning my computer back on after issuing a
'shutdown -p now'" I would suggest instead of trying a bunch of times
turning the machine on and off, hold the power button in for 5 seconds,
and then power on. Holding the power button in for 5 seconds _forces_
the system to shut off in all but the most extreme cases of failures.
Your system may have become unresponsive after the 'shutdown -p now'...
Cheers,
Derek
