How do you know. Don't expect to see the options as command line parameters
any more. Most of them are passed via header files by now. To find out
about the effect of turning on the option IPFIREWALL check the file
opt_ipfw.h in the kernel build directory. In it you should find
a #define IPFIREWALL  .
