The replacement is the device.hints(5) mechanism, which has most of the functionality, but a very different user interface. The Handbook should reflect this (or at least mention there is a difference). >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: At a minimum, turn the above ramblings into English and insert into the installation chapter of the Handbook. It'd be better to have a real "How to do boot-time kernel configuration on 5.X" section, but that's more work. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
