Thanks, Ruslan. That addresses my concerns. I really appreciate your ability to answer a question like that without getting defensive. Bruce, do you have a moment to update the release notes section "2.1.2 Bootloader Changes" to reflect that a) 3rd party modules should be placed in /boot/modules/, and b) such modules designed for use with previous releases of FreeBSD are likely to panic and should be used with extreme caution. ?
