This message might be over two months old, but hey... :-) Modules can receive parameters when loaded through loader(8). It would make sense that this capability were also present on kldload. One good reason not to do it this way: we want modules to be loadable-on-demand. Of course, there are all sorts of modules that wouldn't make sense to be demand-loadable, and, thus, would be perfectly all right with parameters. -- Daniel C.
