When I give # halt or # shutdown -h now I always receive the following
message (FreeBSD 4.7):

The operating system has halted.
Please press any key to reboot.

so the system doesn't power off by itself. Why?

# dmesg | grep apm
says:

apm0: <APM BIOS> on motherboard
apm: found APM BIOS v1.2, connected at v1.2

and
# grep apm /etc/rc.conf
says:

apm_enable="YES"

I thank you in advance.

You also need

apmd_enable="YES"

You need to use the right command. Try 'halt -p' or 'shutdown -p'

No you don't. apmd receives APM events (low battery, etc) and executes
commands in response.

yes, I forgot the -p option. Now it works, thank you :)

There is a different switch when you want power off : '-p'

Try that.
