Is loader.conf in some sort of different world than sysctl(8)?
Shouldn't
I be able to at least view the current settings using sysctl? I
understand these are things which may have to be set in stone
before the
kernel starts running proper. Just want to see the current value.
# sysctl kern.maxssiz
sysctl: unknown oid 'kern.maxssiz'
Show how can a view the current setting and confirm my messing with
loader.conf took hold?
Been there. Done that. Read sysctl(8) before posting the first time.
# sysctl -a | grep kern.maxssiz

No output. Did *you* try your suggestion before posting?
sysctl(8) says:
-a List all the currently available non-opaque values.
This option
is ignored if one or more variable names are specified
on the
command line.
...
-o Show opaque variables (which are normally suppressed).
The for-
mat and length are printed, as well as a hex dump of
the first
sixteen bytes of the value.
-a didn't do the job, and neither did -o, so I asked here.
