How is it possible? In /etc/rc.conf, dhcpcd=YES with dhcpcd_flags="-b"
are nearly the first line. And npf=YES with npf_rules="/etc/npf.conf"
are nearly the last line. wm0 should have got IP prior to running NPF,
shouldn't it?

You are right. It seems much likely, my wm0 is wireless. But how can I fix it?
Warning(s) during boot, IMHO, looks bad. At least it did not occur on 6_STABLE.
(Now I'm on 7_STABLE.)
