Fix: The change information is being written out, in fact, but to the wrong location. move /kernel.config to /boot/kernel.conf (if it exists, otherwise there were no changes to save) and add the following lines to /boot/loader.rc: load /kernel load -t userconfig_script /boot/kernel.conf autoboot 5 This will cause the kernel change information to be read in and used properly (and you just learned a little about the new 3-stage loader in the process, so the exercise wasn't a total loss). Thanks to Mark for that one. -- Regards | _/\_/\ Andrew Johns BSc (Comp Sci) | / \ TurnAround Solutions Pty Ltd | \_...__/ http://www.turnaround.com.au/ | \/ "The box said 'Requires Windows 95, NT, or better,' so I installed FreeBSD."
