Can anyone point me to a loader.conf file that's full of a wide range of options? I just want to see some syntax for stuff like video hardware acceleration, audio chipset support etc. I'm confused about how and why modules are built and (seemingly loaded without my having specified any to load) when I have not told my kernel conf file to build anything as a module. As a former NetBSD user, I had expected a monolitic kernel . . .

You can also use NO_MODULES as a make option to prevent the build and installation of modules. See also MODULES_OVERRIDE is /sys/conf/NOTES. If you never specified a module to load, then no modules should be loaded. (Ref kldstat) Maybe the default behavior has changed. I wouldn't know though since I don't use the default behavior. There are two ways to build a kernel. There is 'make buildkernel' and there is 'config KERNEL; make depend; make' Take care which options apply to which method. Later, Jason C. Wells
