I'm able to load a module from either directory without specifying the full path and / or extension and without either directory being my current working directory on 6.1-RELEASE. What's the problem you're actually having?

I believe that base system kernel modules for the currently installed kernel should be installed to /boot/kernel and that kernel modules from outside FreeBSD (e.g.: nvidia.ko) are installed to /boot/modules. > R > -- > Richard Jones > MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Y!M: rwkjones > http://www.jonze.com > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- Nick Withers email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.nickwithers.com Mobile: +61 414 397 446 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
