That means that you really didn't have a ipfw(8) that was in sync with your ipfw(4) in your kernel. here's what I'm 99% sure happened: make installworld KERNEL=FOO installs /FOO and not /kernel like everyone who has ever used FreeBSD expects it to. you booted your old /kernel, even though /FOO was right there ready to be used. you probably just recompiled the kernel in place (like we traditionally used to) and then did a make install which (as POLA would tell us) installs /kernel. -- Bill Fumerola - Network Architect, BOFH / Chimes, Inc. billf@chimesnet.com / billf@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
