I ask the last question because the handbook states that "/boot/defaults/loader.conf" is read before "/boot/loader.conf" in stage three of the boot process. the relevant portion of the handbook states: "The loader will then read |/boot/loader.rc|, which by default reads in |/boot/defaults/loader.conf| which sets reasonable defaults for variables and reads |/boot/loader.conf| for local changes to those variables. |loader.rc| then acts on these variables, loading whichever modules and kernel are selected. " However my loader.rc doesn't mention this file //-----------------------Begin cut-n-paste \ Loader.rc \ $FreeBSD: release/10.0.0/sys/boot/i386/loader/loader.rc 151874 2005-10-30 05:41:42Z scottl $ \ \ Includes additional commands include /boot/loader.4th \ Reads and processes loader.conf variables start \ Tests for password -- executes autoboot first if a password was defined check-password \ Load in the boot menu include /boot/beastie.4th \ Start the boot menu beastie-start //---------------------end cut-n-paste Suggestions? Remember, this is common to default installs of 10.1 RC, and fresh default installs of 10.0. So there is a common denominator here..... I just don;t know where or who to ask for resolution. My issue is solved by me moving the module over....But that is not going to solve the issue for other NVidia users who do a clean or new install....And especially for new users to FreeBSD installing for their first time...
