Reading the help/readme for /boot/loader.conf, I took it as being able to put "load snd_sb16" (without the quotes) in and it would load the sb16 module at bootup - tried load snd_sb16 and just snd_sb16 and neither one would load the module.. It loads OK using kldload snd_sb16 from a root term. What am I doing wrong? I added a line for ttys9 to /etc/ttys to start kdm but am still getting xdm started too, I did comment out the line for ttys8 where the xdm stuff is.. Doesn't that file recognize the "#" as a comment or is there another way to do it??
