Gents, I recent build of FreeBSD8-STABLE (amd64)is not parsing /boot/loader.conf properly. While the machine boots I am getting the following error:> \\: unknown command \ -- This is right before it loads the kernel. I was wondering if anyone else is running into such problems or knows which source files I can examine to see where the problem might be? A side effect of this is that my modules that I'd like to be loaded aren't being loaded. Thanks, -- Paul A.

Type: unload Type: load /boot/kernel/kernel Then load in your modules in with the same process. Finally, type: boot You can then look at your loader.conf and diagnose any issue that might be in it, or file a bug if there is really something wrong. Hope this helps!>
