In addition to starting services manually in single user mode, did you set any sysctl's that might also get set in the rc scripts? For example, if you have gateway_enable="YES" in rc.conf, then the command "sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1" is run in rc.network. You might grep for "sysctl" in /etc/rc* to see if there are any sysctl's that need checking. Also, are there any kernel modules that get loaded as a result of your rc.conf settings?
