I installed FreeBSD on a work colleges computer and found something
odd..

I have the following in /boot/loader.conf
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- #
userconfig_script_load="YES"
agp_load="YES"
snd_pdm_load="YES"
snd_ich_load="YES"
if_xl_load="YES"
miibus_load="YES"

hw.ata.atapi_dma="1"

But when I check dmesg..
CPU: Pentium III/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron (1002.28-MHz 686-class CPU)

???
I saw the loader load the module too :)

If I do "kldload if_xl" after it's booted the xl device is probed fine ->
xl0: <3Com 3c905-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xc800-0xc83f irq 10 at device 4.0 on pci1
xl0: Ethernet address: 00:60:08:ae:15:f7
miibus0: <MII bus> on xl0
nsphy0: <DP83840 10/100 media interface> on miibus0
nsphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

This is some Packard Bell prebuilt thing if it matters.
