I really don't know anything about using IPSEC under FreeBSD, but since nobody seems to have replied just yet, I'll offer up a few suggestions that occur to me immediately ( in order of importance ): 1) in /etc/rc.conf set ipsec_enable="NO" - take a look at /etc/rc.d/ipsec, you'll see that it may be this script that is causing your boot to fail under the ipsec_prestart() function. so setting this option in rc.conf may well give you the desired result. 2) try creating an empty /etc/ipsec.conf to appease ipsec 3) check into any sysctl variables that might affect ipsec in the kernel - set them in either /etc/sysctl.conf, or perhaps /boot/loader.conf.
