that's ok, it's ignorable without any ramifications.

the vanilla net flavour is what you need. it does have natd and ip 
firewall inside. take a look at the handbook at www.freebsd.org/handbook/ 
to see how to configure ipfw. you should also take a look at 
/etc/rc.firewall on the PicoBSD floppy. there are already stock 
configurations for these and you can choose the correct one by setting 
the firewall_type variable in /etc/rc.conf. you'll most likely be using 
the simple firewall type with some minor modifications of rules to cater 
to your network.

in fact, i am using such a configuration for a dual hosted 386 with 
picoBSD at the moment.
