Big warning: I do not have FreeBSD installed now, I only played with it on my old computer several months ago. AFAIK, "insmod and rmmod" are needed for booting FreeBSD kernel. Bruce's rant does mean (correctly) that Grub2 is no longer a simple Linux boot loader. But this does not mean that it should not be excluded as an option just because of the bloat - otherwise people who dual-boot Linux and FreeBSD will have to chainload the native FreeBSD boot loader from LILO or whatever boot loader remains the LFS default. -- Alexander E.
