Heh, this must have been me. To clarify: Look at the file /boot/defaults/loader.conf on your machine and see what modules can be loaded at boot time. If what you are after is not listed there, then it may not work just now. (There may be differences between -CURRENT and -STABLE, and I run only the former) According to my log, it also should be under src/sys/boot/forth/loader.conf. -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szombathely Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
