(Just tested on 4.1-stable) and thats where they went in 3.x as well. I'm not positive if the boot loaders are the same between 3.x and 4.x but by default the loader does NOT read the kernel.conf file unless it was installed by sysinstall in 4.x. The syntax to enable it is in the /boot/defaults/loader.conf and it is: userconfig_script_load="YES" -- :Kevin M.
