Eh no.
I've experienced panic's at the end of /etc/rc, just before going multiuser.
When I disable firewalling in /etc/rc.conf the system boots up fine.
(although it isn't that useful anymore, because of the default deny everything
policy of ipfw).
This was on a SMP box with a Jan 30 cvsup, I'm currently downgrading it to
an older 4.2-stable (dated 30 Dec 2000)
