But not for 6-CURRENT. The kld symbols should get loaded automatically, so you don't need to do anything. You should see something like: Reading symbols from /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ZAPHOD/modules/usr/src/sys/modules/dcons/dcons.ko.debug...done. Loaded symbols for /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ZAPHOD/modules/usr/src/sys/modules/dcons/dcons.ko.debug Reading symbols from /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ZAPHOD/modules/usr/src/sys/modules/dcons_crom/dcons_crom.ko.debug...done. Loaded symbols for /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ZAPHOD/modules/usr/src/sys/modules/dcons_crom/dcons_crom.ko.debug This is all you need. > I copied and past it in a file and made it executable, but no > success.
