How does /dev/pf get created?

[Gavin Spomer]

My mistake, I DO have pf.ko:

      # ls /boot/kernel/pf.ko
      -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   184K Jan 25 09:33 kernel/pf.ko

   I was trying "ls /boot/kernel/pf" before. Now I'm wondering why I'm still getting "kldload: can't load pf.ko: No such file or
   directory" when I run kldload.

   Sigh, shouldn't be this difficult. ;)

This would indicate that /boot/kernel/pf.ko is missing.  It doesn't
appear it was built during your last buildkernel/installkernel.


   Yes, you're quite correct. Oddly enough, I remember that when I had the pf stuff in my kernel config, pk.ko DID exist in
   /boot/kernel. THAT doesn't make much sense.
