      Yes.

          "Diagnostics" –> "Halt System"

          Alternatively you can go to the "Diagnostics" --> "Command Prompt" and shut down the same way you would shutdown your standard FreeBSD. ( # shutdown -h now )

              Yeah. But with the command prompt way it should shut down completely.

                  Try
                  shutdown -p now

                  (at least this powers my virtual box pfsense off and doesnt halt it)

                      rebuild, would seem a hardware issue, as the machine is older, PIII 550

                        Sounds to me like your box doesn't support ACPI.
