Can anyone point me to a loader.conf file that's full of a wide
range of options? I just want to see some syntax for stuff like
video hardware acceleration, audio chipset support etc.

I'm confused about how and why modules are built and (seemingly
loaded without my having specified any to load) when I have not
told my kernel conf file to build anything as a module. As a former
NetBSD user, I had expected a monolitic kernel . . .
