You don't bother to mention which version of FBSD you're using, but from the context, I'll assume it's 3.1+... Create a /boot/loader.rc file (if you don't already have one) that contains at least the lines: load kernel load -t userconfig_script /boot/kernel.conf Then, creat a /boot/kernel.conf file that contains the lines you would normally type by hand in the configuration editor.
