That means that you really didn't have a ipfw(8) that was in sync
with your ipfw(4) in your kernel.
here's what I'm 99% sure happened:
make installworld KERNEL=FOO installs /FOO and not /kernel like
everyone who has ever used FreeBSD expects it to. you booted your
old /kernel, even though /FOO was right there ready to be used.
you probably just recompiled the kernel in place (like we traditionally
used to) and then did a make install which (as POLA would tell us)
installs /kernel.
