The loader man page describes how to load a script (interactively).
The script must contain lines exactly as typed in the command-line
mode (CLI), so if you are familiar only with the full-screen mode
you can type 'help' at the CLI prompt and investigate from there.
Then... the loader.conf man page mentions a setting to load a
userconfig script (automatically). I was forced to track this down
when I had once saved an unwanted setting from an initial installation.
----[snip]----man loader
EXAMPLES
...
Loads kernel's user configuration file. Notice that a kernel must b=
e
loaded before any other load command is attempted.
=20
load kernel
load -t userconfig_script /boot/kernel.conf
...
----[snip]----man loader.conf
DEFAULT SETTINGS
...
userconfig_script_load
(``NO'') If set to ``YES'', will load the userconfig data.
...
----[snip]----/boot/loader.conf
userconfig_script_load=3D"YES"
userconfig_script_name=3D"/boot/kernel.conf"
userconfig_script_type=3D"userconfig_script"
----[snip]----/boot/kernel.conf
enable apm0
