This is not necessary. If you copy said file to /boot/device.hints, it will be read automatically as a loader .conf file and set environment variables that will be read automatically by the kernel. If you wish to use alternate configurations without tweaking device.hints, you can do loader_conf_files="xyzzy" And xyzzy will be read. Since device.hints is read right after /boot/defaults/loader.conf, anything later will override it's values. -- Daniel C.
