This could well be a hardware problem, but don't rule out FreeBSD issues just yet. I had a similar niggling problem on the machine I'm using right now: telling the system to 'shutdown -r' would shutdown just fine, but the reset that is the prelude to rebooting would never happen. Had to hit the reset button manually every time. I found that enabling the apm(4) stuff helped, but wasn't a complete cure. Then when some acpi support was MFC'd from -CURRENT, enabling that and turning off apm(4) has made the whole reboot thing work perfectly, although it does make the floppy drive unusable. A floppy I can live without. I'd advise you to try out those three options -- apci enabled, apm enabled or neither enabled. You'll need to build some custom kernels to try out those options. Which (if any) works depends on what motherboard chipset your machine has.
