Does the prefix by chance refer to the full path to the script (i.e.
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/pf.sh)? Read the comments in the script; it will
tell you what you need to do to /etc/rc.conf to get things started on
bootup.

I've been running pf on two separate FBSD 5.2.1 boxes for weeks without
adding this switch. Only thing that doesn't work that great is spamd
logging but otherwise I prefer pf over ipf and ipfw any day -- even on
a ported OS...
