Re loading loopback and ipv6_mandatory rules: this suggests that you may 
have firewall_script left undefined (defaulting to /etc/rc.firewall) and 
have set firewall_type="/etc/firewall" ?

If /etc/firewall is a replacement script, specify it as firewall_script. 

If it's a set of rules that ipfw consumes via /etc/rc.firewall, start it 
with '-f flush' to clear those rules setup at the start of rc.firewall.

(This came up the other day in ipfw@)
