How do you upgrade completely when freebsd-update refuses to install the world
until you've booted into the new kernel?

I think the other viable workaround is to disable ipfw for the intial reboot
as sucky as that is.  Ideally though the kernel would still support the older
ipfw binary.  We probably should have just reverted all the ipfw changes in
stable/15 (if not main) if this issue was discovered prior to the release as
bricking boxes on upgrade is a pretty drastic failure mode.
