Cannot shut down system from the login screen

[Lasse]

I cannot shut down my system from the login screen. After shutting down I just get the following message:

The operating system has halted. Press any key to reboot.

So instead I have to use init 0 in order to shut down the system completely.
I am using FreeBSD 8.0 - RELEASE 64-bit version.
What is wrong?

Thanks in advance/
Lasse.

Use

shutdown -p now

instead of

shutdown -h now

man 8 shutdown
