No-no-no. GENERIC placed on instalation CD/DVD and updated by freebsd-update. So GENERIC (and modules loaded in /boot/loader.conf from instalation image and in default install) must be enought to install in widest environment. If drivers moved from GENERIC to /boot/loader.conf it allow preserve wide range of installation environment and give light way to reduce count of loaded devices (by edit /boot/loader.conf). _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
