Still no /dev/pf. Running kldstat still shows that = pf.ko didn't get loaded. Trying to load it via your > instructions (kldload -v pf) I get: >=20 > kldload: can't load pf: No such file or directory This would indicate that /boot/kernel/pf.ko is missing. It doesn't appear it was built during your last buildkernel/installkernel. Yes, you're quite correct. Oddly enough, I remember that when I had the = pf stuff in my kernel config, pk.ko DID exist in /boot/kernel. THAT doesn't make much sense.
