https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D220014 Bug ID: 220014 Summary: Handbook always recommends loading modules from /boot/loader.conf, never mentioning kld_list Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Documentation Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: salternate@gmx.com So rc.conf(5) says "Loading modules at this point in the boot process is mu= ch faster than doing it via /boot/loader.conf for those modules not necessary = for mounting local disk." I first saw mention somewhere that it was safer to load video drivers from kld_list so the display wouldn=E2=80=99t be blanked for a long time during = boot, so you would have the slightest idea what was going wrong if something does wrong.= .. and indeed it has turned out to be much nicer to put i915kms in kld_list. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
