the ipfw_start() function in /etc/rc.d/ipfw is missing a command:
     sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.enable=1

edgemaster# /etc/rc.d/ipfw restart
net.inet.ip.fw.enable: 1 -> 0
Flushed all rules.
...
Firewall rules loaded, starting divert daemons:.
edgemaster# sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.enable
net.inet.ip.fw.enable: 0

This simple patch fixes it, and also changes a `sysctl` to a ${SYSCTL_W}.
