Baio Hi Danilo, You got a panic because loader doesn't know that iwm8265fw is a raw firmware and not a kernel module anymore, and it's working after removing those lines because now iwm is loaded via devmatch and the firmware is correctly loaded. https://reviews.freebsd.org/D48211 is addressing this so users who loads iwm from loader(8) can still do it (even if I don't understand why anyone wants to do this).
