BL1 was designed to be used as a firewall. Few people
used that capability, so it was removed in BL2. As far
as things being in different places, BL3 uses one startup
file (/etc/rc) while most systems have a bunch of startup
files in a separate directory ( /etc/rc.d/ or similar).
Just stick your firewall commands in /etc/rc.
Another difference between BL1 and BL3 is: the 2.0 kernel
(BL1) uses ipfwadm and the 2.2 kernel (BL2,BL3) uses ipchains.
So the config commands are different.

The ipchains-HOWTO has a table of differences so you should
be able to translate your working config from BL1.

Anybody who can successfully run a firewall on BL1 is
definitely not a fool.
