I'm getting the same error. Ran kldstat -v | grep ipf &
got back "206 ipfw". Just learning about it, so had to
guess that the 206 is the PID. Ran ps x | grep ipfw & got
"344 v0 S+". Then I ran ps x | grep 206 & got
"206 ?? Is  0:00:02 inetd -wW". Trying to find out if it's
not loading right. I have everything compiled into the
kernel for IPFW support that's required, so not sure what
the problem is, unless something's broken from cvsup, which
I did about a week & a half ago with no apparent ill results
at the time. Everything made & installed without any errors.
Only time consuming was in having to manually merge several
files, including rc.conf. Thanks.
