 The problem seems to be that ipdivert.ko is not loaded prior to the 
 /etc/rc.d/ipfw script being run.
 
 /etc/rc.d/natd _does_ load this module so restarting the firewall after 
 boot sequence is complete works.
 
 I've fixed this on my own system by adding
 === cut here 8<===
          if checkyesno natd_enable; then
                  required_modules="$required_modules ipdivert"
          fi
 === cut here 8<===
 at the end of the ipfw_prestart() function in /etc/rc.d/ipfw
 
 This appears to be a regression between the "out of the box" states for 
 8.0-RELEASE and 8.1-RELEASE.
