Just as a side note: does mergemaster or installworld handle the installation of /boot/device.hints? If it's mergemaster, then everything is fine, it'll detect your changes. If it's installworld, you'll lose your changes at the next update. Either way, I find it nicer/simpler to use /boot/loader.conf for this, as nothing in the build/update process touches it, and it keeps all boot/kernel options in one file. And, it overrides any settings in device.hints. -- Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com
