Yes, it will work. None of the foo_load variables are explicit in the loader. Instead, it walks all the environment variables and if any variable ends with _load, it tries to load the kld named by the prefix. Thus, if you set foo_load=YES, it will try to load foo.ko and will unset foo_load if it is successful. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
