The manual page clearly states it should be set at boot. The /boot/loader.conf isn't the single possible way to achive this, you can aslo set this manually in loaded, or there might be another ways to set kenv variables in another bootloaders. Claiming that the variable should be set in /boot/loader.conf isn't good, I think. - -- Stanislav Sedov ST4096-RIPE -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEARECAAYFAkk3kgQACgkQK/VZk+smlYHiJgCfe50mQr9O/SPPHTH0I3Ry7T5j P8EAnRxHdSXXLXKjwyaO13nk+JCvPDz6 =RQtA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
