>Description:
man page for loader.conf shows values to set with examples
value for 'kernel' is incorrect
man page shows:
kernel (''/boot/kernel/kernel'')
this does not work, the system prepends this value with the /boot/kernel/ path value, which would give /boot/kernel//boot/kernel/kernel
not sure what purpose this value has as the system boots with the standard kernel even when this value is incorrect - though it does knock out the module loading
>How-To-Repeat:
set value in loader.conf as:
kernel="/boot/kernel/kernel"
this should knock out module loading (is all i noticed)
>Fix:
set value in loader.conf as:
kernel="kernel"
and correct the man page
