I'm seeing the same thing having just upgraded a working 6.0-RELEASE box. 
Since the only kernel option I had set on either version of the OS was 
IPFIREWALL_FORWARD, the system is loading ipfw.ko, ipdivert.ko and 
dummynet.ko automatically.

Has the way ipfw.ko is built changed? Do we need to compile ipfw into the 
kernel to use ipfw fwd rules now? Or can I force ipfw.ko to be rebuilt with 
forwarding included?
