That solution has just worked for me: FreeBSD 15.1, VirtualBox 6.1.38 Win7 x64. 

The goal is to set the kernel configuration parameter "hw.efi.poweroff" to zero
before the shutdown.

First try the manual approach with `sysctl` utility, as root: 

# sysctl hw.efi.poweroff=0
# shutdown -p now

If it worked, then create a loader configuration file named
"/boot/loader.conf.d/efi_poweroff.conf" with a single line:

hw.efi.poweroff="0"
