I just tested this under FreeBSD 6.2 RC1 and confirmed the problem.

/etc/rc.conf:
ipsec_enable="YES"

/etc/ipsec.conf does not exist.

Reboot.

The console shows an error and asks for a shell to load.

Comment out the ipsec_enable line and the system boots normally.  Sorry,
no logs to include.  :-(

If you're working on a box locally, you can fix the boot problem.  If
it's a remote box, you're in trouble until someone can visit it.
