I run FreeBSD on Samsung V30 laptop. When it is shutting down, everything works 
fine, but I 've got the similar sound of "forced by button" power off. It sounds 
dangerously for the HDD. Windows XP on this machine switches off more "softly".

I use the GENERIC kernel with minor changes.

I've heard about some commands (atacontrol ?) which allow to spin down hard 
drive, so maybe we should just put them in shutdown script?
