      As the subject says, to restart the system I need to press the power button off/on.
      From the GUI or console, it just hangs as below:

      login as: root
      Using keyboard-interactive authentication.
      Password:
      *** Welcome to pfSense 2.1-BETA0-pfSense (amd64) on nextsense ***

      7. Halt system                      14) Enable Secure Shell (sshd)
      8. Ping host                        15) Restore recent configuration

      Enter an option: 5

      pfSense will reboot. This may take a few minutes, depending on your hardware.

      Do you want to proceed [y|n]? y

          Normally these are bios/board bugs.
          If you find a fix that can be applied in pfSense without too much complexity i can give a look.

          You can try setting this options:
          hw.acpi.handle_reboot=1
          or
          hw.acpi.disable_on_reboot=1

          Please try them separately and see if they make a difference.

            Thanks for the reply, ermal.
            When I was running pfSense 2.0.1 Release it did not happen, reboot was working fine and I didn't change anything on BIOS settings. It's hard to believe in any bug on a Supermicro Board/Bios but, whatever, it can happens.
            Anyway, where to insert those setting options?:
            1- /boot/loader.conf
            2- /boot/loader.conf.local

              Either of those.
              Usually its recommeneded the .local one.

              Well the bug might be even in the acpi implementation of FreeBSD i did not do any search on that.

                Ok. I'm going to try and report it back as soon as possible. Separately, as you said before.
                Thanks again.

                  Well, it works on the first try.

                  Procedure:
                  1- Copy loader.conf.local and rename to loader.conf.bkp.local. The original loader.conf.local content is as below:

                  kern.cam.boot_delay=10000

                  2- Edit and save loader.conf.local as below:

                  hw.acpi.handle_reboot=1
                  kern.cam.boot_delay=10000

                  But on second try, it still hangs. :(

                    It not works even with loader.conf.local as below:

                    hw.acpi.disable_on_reboot=1
                    kern.cam.boot_delay=10000

                    :(

                    I'm posting this while that reboot message remains on my screen:

                    pfSense is rebooting now.

                    Stopping package phpSysInfo...done.
                    Stopping /usr/local/etc/rc.d/proxy_monitor.sh...done.

                      Halt from GUI or console doesn't work as well. I still need to press the power button off/on.

                        I note proxy_monitor.sh. Try uninstalling squid and test. Then try installing the squid3 package instead.
