Maybe that will help:
$ grep apmhalt /etc/sysctl.conf
#machdep.apmhalt=1              # 1=powerdown hack, try if
halt -p doesn't work

Thanks but that didn't help.

At the monent I'm thinking of re-compiling the kernel as
someone
mentioned (off the list) that I need to enable acpi in the
kernel. I
was wondering if there's something I could enable from the
UKC prompt
as mentioned here: http://openb
sd.org/faq/faq5.html#Options and thus
avoid re-compiling the kernel altogether.

Thanks for any help.
