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.
