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). > Thank you, > Pedro Salenbauch > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org My Webpage http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~markov _______________________________________________________________ Mark Ovens, CNC Apps Engineer, Radan Computational Ltd.
