This is also why I want to get it up and running.  Packet filter over
iptables is a big advantage for the BSD's.

I am not a developer, so I kind of get lost at being thrown into the
debugger. I just saw the panic about the root filesystem and assumed it
was the ramdisk. I have emailed the developers and they are not quite

production quality stability as I am just trying to learn to tcp/ip and pf.
