RPI3 shutdown -p now does a reboot

Just found out that a "shutdown -p now" does not halt the system, it reboots instead. Caused me a corrupt filesystem and unbootable system :-(

I know that we can’t actually power off a RPI but -p should then instead halt the system, shutdown(8) man page:

     -p      The system is halted and the power is turned off (hardware
             support required, otherwise the system is halted) at the
             specified time.

uname -a on my RPI3:
FreeBSD vpn2 12.1-STABLE FreeBSD 12.1-STABLE r357605 GENERIC  arm64

Thanks
Peter
