Huh?
kernel="kernel" # /boot sub-directory containing kernel and modules
bootfile="kernel" # Kernel name (possibly absolute path)
I note that loader.conf(5) is completely out of date in this regard.
What can I say? I'm lazy. :-)

She stood on the tracks
Waving her arms
Leading me to that third rail shock
Quick as a wink
She changed her mind
She gave me a night
That's all it was
What will it take until I stop
Kidding myself
Wasting my time
There's nothing else I can do
'Cause I'm doing it all for Leyna
I don't want anyone new
'Cause I'm living it all for Leyna
There's nothing in it for you
'Cause I'm giving it all to Leyna
