In this screen, you are given hardware to delete or edit from the boot probe. The final option on this screen asks whether to save this or not. If you reply "Y" for yes, supposedly this gets written out somewhere. At this point, I suppose you make use of this information by creating your own /boot/loader.conf.local file. This question is for FreeBSD 4.0, but would also be handy for 3.4, as there was never any answer to that post either. Searching "man loader" was no help. I am trying to find a way to test varying NIC's without having to A - do a visual every boot, or B- compile the NIC info into the kernel like I have been. Making a kernel for each NIC was a pain.
