Firstly, make sure you're running a system version that includes ipfw2
support. You need to be running either 5-CURRENT or a recent version
of 4-STABLE. If you're running 5-CURRENT then you've already got
ipfw2 and don't need to do anything more, but you'll probably be more
comfortable running 4-STABLE.
So, assuming you're all set up to rebuild the world and the kernel,
you need to:
Add 'IPFW2=TRUE' to /etc/make.conf
Add 'options IPFW2' to your kernel configuration.
Then simply build and install a new system in the usual way
(ie. according to the instructions in /usr/src/UPDATING) and away you
go.
Cheers,
Matthew
