What settings are relevant? I really did not use rc.conf to configure
carp. I just did manually

ifconfig carp0 create
ifconfig carp0 vhid 1 pass XXXXXXXXX 10.14.134.99/23

and the same on the other host.

sysctl.conf is really empty, these are just vanilla boxes in a lab.

router1# sysctl -a | grep carp
net.inet.ip.same_prefix_carp_only: 0
net.inet.carp.allow: 1
net.inet.carp.preempt: 0
net.inet.carp.log: 1
net.inet.carp.arpbalance: 0
net.inet.carp.suppress_preempt: 0
router1# ipfw list
65535 allow ip from any to any


Well, _almost_ vanilla boxes. They have custom kernels:

include GENERIC

ident FW

device		carp
device		lagg

options 	IPFIREWALL		#firewall
options 	IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE	#enable logging to syslogd(8)
options 	IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100	#limit verbosity
options 	IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT	#allow everything by default
options 	IPDIVERT		#divert sockets
options 	IPFIREWALL_FORWARD	#packet destination changes
options 	IPFIREWALL_NAT		#ipfw kernel nat support
options 	LIBALIAS
options 	QUOTA			#enable disk quotas
options         ROUTETABLES=4
