I re-enabled the ipv6 stuff from rc.conf(including the commented
variables). It doesn't give any errors anymore, so they must have been
related to the blocked network device.
I checked /var/log/messages, it says that IPFW is succesfully
loaded("ipfw2 (+ipv6) initialized, divert loadable, rule-based
forwarding enabled, default to accept, logging disabled"). It doesn't
contain any logs from the previous boots anymore.

Anyway I just found out there is another command for ipv6
ipfw(ip6fw..), 'ip6fw list' lists the rules that /etc/rc.firewall6
creates :)
So ipv6 seems to do it's work, while ipv4 doesn't.
