Just some further info..
System died last night again after approx 6 hours of uptime.
I could still get to the GUI, could still SSH to it but it would pass any
traffic through to the OPT 2 (DMZ) interface.
I attempted to run /etc/rc.bootup at the command line which restarted Pf
fine. After the restart of Pf (not the whole computer) everything thing was
still in the same shape with no traffic passing through to the DMZ.
The only thing that corrected this was a reboot which I initiated via the Pf
GUI.
Further info:
V. 0.84
Running on a PIII 933 with 128mb of ram. I have 4 Linksys NICS installed on
the PCI bus and one on the motherboard which I had disabled.
Onboard NIC (disabled in BIOS)
Linksys NIC 1 > LAN
Linksys NIC 2 > WAN (static IP on a T1 with ascend T1 router on other end)
Linksys NIC 3 > OPT 1 (DMZ where servers are)
Linksys NIC 4 > OPT2 (not in use at the moment)
The PC is a DELL, Pf is running on a Hard Drive.
I installed a fresh copy of 0.84, this is not an upgrade.
All Linksys/Network Everywhere NICS are identical model NC100.
I have 26 aliases setup, 46 rules on the WAN tab, 14 rules on the DMZ tab
and none on the LAN or OPT 2.
I have nothing plugged into the WAN NIC and nothing plugged into the LAN NIC
at this time.
Any other info needed, just let me know and I will be happy to supply it.
Thanks,
Todd

I have no idea without knowing more information.

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.
