Hi everyone,
Today I try to upgrade my FreeBSD 8.0 RELEASE Firewall Box to 9.0 RELEASE. I download the newest sources via csup and made a custom kernel. Safety first, I tried to boot the new kernel and check whether the machine comes up. As expected the machine was booting fine.
But then I noticed that my clients behind the Firewall can't connect to the Internet. When I try to load the pf.conf I got this message:
This is my first try to upgrade a FreeBSD machine. I'm not sure at this point. Should pf work after booting the new kernel or should it work only when I make the new kernel permanent, install the system with make installworld and merge the system configuration files with mergemaster?
Maybe it is no real problem at this time and I have to go on with the update process. But I thought it is better to ask you than crashing the production machine.
Thanks for your help!
