ACPI not working for shutdown -p

Nope, still no go.  It gives me a timeout whenever it tries to shutdown, 
I don't know if that has anything to do with the timeout tables, I'd 
assume so, but I haven't the slightest idea on how to fix that.  I'm 
still confused as to why it doesn't work on FreeBSD, but the Windows 
drive I have shuts down the machine just fine.  Oh well.  Thanks for the 
help though.
