After your next world build, the loader will not load ``/kernel'' by default, so you want to make sure you build and install a kernel using sources matching the loader source. Third party modules (ie, those not part of the base FreeBSD) should be placed in ``/boot/modules'' (or ``/modules'') and the FreeBSD build system will not disturb them. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
