firewall_script is a shell script executed by rc.network. ipfw(8) is
the control program for ipfirewall(4). If you look at the default
/etc/rc.firewall, you can see that ${fwcmd} is set to "/sbin/ifw" or
"/sbin/ipfw -q" depending on the value of firewall_quiet in the rc.conf
files.
So you could change your "firewall script":
,----
| fwcmd="/sbin/ipfw"
| ${fwcmd} add 65000 pass all from any to any
`----
or just use the following lines in rc.conf.
,----[ /etc/rc.conf ]
| firewall_enable="YES"
| firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall"
| firewall_type="open"
`----
