Issue #2141 has been updated by Samuel J. Greear.
> After release I might fix loader to remove this confusing > (schizophrenic ?) facility that a variable can have two instances with > different value; I see no use for it. Seeing as the next release is a .0, I would like to see this done (if you have the time). ---------------------------------------- Bug #2141: loader and/or documentation broken http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2141 Author: Samuel J. Greear Status: New Priority: Urgent Assignee: Category: Target version: For example, The ehci driver is automatically loaded upon boot. To disable this behavior temporarily, the ehci_load variable can be unset at the loader prompt (see loader(8)). To disable it permanently, the hint.ehci.0.disabled tunable can be set to 1 in /boot/loader.conf. But when operating from the loader prompt the ehci_load variable has no effect at all, it seems to only be checked from the menu, which is useless if you are operating from the prompt. This is confusing at best, but I am leaning more towards steaming pile. The loader or the documentation needs to be reworked. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
