If you run through the "menu" dialog that configures the entire
honeywall at once you _normally_ don't see problems with servoces
starting/stopping but If you load a fresh honeywall then attempt to
configure individual variables with 'hwctl' (which is perfectly
fine) you will likely see what you describe below...  Service
stoping starting and having problems.  If this is what your doing
my advice is to get all of your Vars set then reboot.  If its a
clean boot your probalby fine.

I'm guessing you were in a partially configured state when you were
issuing 'hwctl' commands and had the errors with things starting
and stopping.

I hate telling people to do this but its so much easier then trying
to troubleshoot something taht might not even be broken but...

Try rebooting the system.  If everything comes up (without error)
and everything is working properly then you should be good to go.
If you still get errors on boot (or otherwise) please let us know.
