This, too, does not seem to work in 8.1.6 (on AIX 4.3). See the session info below:

jupiter> sqlplus /nolog  

SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.6.0.0 - Production on Tue Jul 17 10:12:27 2001

SQL> connect / as sysdba
ERROR:
ORA-01090: shutdown in progress - connection is not permitted    

SQL> connect internal
ERROR:
ORA-01090: shutdown in progress - connection is not permitted  

But, if I quit from SQLplus and use SVRMGR I am able to connect as internal and shutdown the hanging instance.

SQL> quit
/u/oracle
jupiter> svrmgrl

SVRMGR> shutdown abort
