Hi, Linux-user, FreeBSD-newbie posting here.

I've a recent installation of FreeBSD, and when I do

# shutdown now

It starts the shutdown process but it hangs promting for the shell path.

I think that this could be something related to the order in which partitions are unmounted.

Any idea?

that's exactly what shutdown now is supposed to do.

If you want the machine to power off you can use
shutdown -p now
or if you just want it to halt but stay on you can use
shutdown -h now

the shutdown(8) man page has all the details.
