Which is always good advice, but I can clarify the effect on these... The only change in /boot is /boot/defaults/loader.conf: diff -r1.26 -r1.27 24c24 < loader_conf_files="/boot/loader.conf /boot/loader.conf.local" --- > loader_conf_files="/boot/device.hints /boot/loader.conf /boot/loader.conf.local" ie: /boot/device.hints is searched for. If you override loader_conf_files in your own loader.conf, you will need to take care of it (or use static hints). /modules should be unchanged by these commits. I wimped out and have not set GENERIC use device.hints yet as I'm not sure how best to connect that up to the release process. Also note: if you do not use loader(8), you *MUST* compile the hints in statically.
