Bug ID: 220014
Summary: Handbook always recommends loading modules from
/boot/loader.conf, never mentioning kld_list
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: Documentation
Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: saltern...@gmx.com
So rc.conf(5) says "Loading modules at this point in the boot process is much
faster than doing it via /boot/loader.conf for those modules not necessary for
mounting local disk."
I first saw mention somewhere that it was safer to load video drivers from
kld_list so the display wouldn’t be blanked for a long time during boot, so you
would have the slightest idea what was going wrong if something does wrong...
and indeed it has turned out to be much nicer to put i915kms in kld_list.
