Hi Gavin, Check your /etc/make.conf. I remember that you can disable it if NO_PF=YES is not commented out. Also, I remember reading it somewhere that pf requires 'device bpf' in the kernel (which you might want to check for that too). I presume you used a copy of GENERIC kernel file and comment out what you don't need...? If so, did you specify the kernel file name in the /etc/make.conf or in the command line KERNCONF=<filename>?
