Well, I did read all of the post..
This does hopefully keep the boot issues from occurring again but..
The even bigger question I still have is why did PfSense just stop working
in the middle of doing it's business?
As mentioned, I made a bunch of config changes and all was fine, PF
continued routing and filtering traffic to a from my servers. I made one
last change which was simply an allow all in and out of a particular server,
once I did this everything worked fine for about two minutes then all
traffic stopped passing through Pfs. I could still move around the GUI fine
but all other functions of PfS were dead as a doornail. This is scary
considering I have no explanation as to why it happen.
I have the box with me, fixed the boot issue and I guess I will go put it
back in place at the office later and hope it doesn't die again in the
middle of the night :)
See what I am saying? It's not just the boot issue, it's the issue that
caused me to reboot in the first place.

Yes, someone didn't read every message when they said they did :P
We have no idea of the cause. We're still looking. But this should
prevent it from happening again... If not we have a huge kernel / ufs
issue on our hands.

Everyone if you can go to a shell (option 8, and issue):
chmod a-w /boot/loader.rc
chflags schg /boot/loader.rc

OK, none of that happen to me either.
Just trying to dig and see if I can figure out what happen so I can feel
good about moving forward with PfSense.
It's not too comforting I guess to just fix it and move on, my brain wants
to find a reason I guess.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer, otherwise I will just have hope it
doesn't happen again.

We've had reports on the IRC channel of this happening after a power hit,
or
other crash too.
