To further elaborate:

It's kind of like building a ship in a bottle.  There is no shell access
to the box.  However, files can be uploaded and downloaded and arbitrary
commands can be executed via a web interface.  Using these mechanisms I
have explored the filesystem and can verify /etc/rc.conf does not exist.
That is not entirely surprising because the overview documentation for
monowall says they have moved as much of the initialization code into
PHP as possible.  It's a little "weird".
