For 4.x it's defined in /boot/defaults/loader.conf:

##############################################################
###  Loader settings  ########################################
##############################################################

#autoboot_delay="10"            # Delay in seconds before autobooting
#bootfile="kernel;kernel.old"   # Set the default boot file set
#console="vidconsole"           # Set the current console
#currdev="disk1s1a"             # Set the current device
#module_path="/;/boot;/modules" # Set the module search path

I believe you put the overrides to this file in /boot/loader.conf.

I'm not sure about 5.x
