Yes, I do have that. I'm stupmed as to why the network interface didn't
start though. I think that's the reason all my stuff in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d didn't start as well, becuase they couldn't bind to
a port. Also, it didn't read rc.firewall :(
Heck, I even had to manually assign 127.0.0.1 to lo0. Strange.

still stumped.. but I will work on it later tonight. I have another box
that I did a clean install of 5.1 on so I can compare startup scripts.

Should 5.1 read my /etc/rc.firewall ?
