Howdy, Per discussion on -arch and the svn list about improving boot time and stripping down the kernel to just that-which-cannot-be-modularized I created the attached script to kldload modules that don't need to be in loader.conf. It cut quite a bit of time off my boot, so hopefully it will be useful to others as well. To use it just put everything that is being _load'ed in loader.conf into kld_list in rc.conf[.local]. For example, mine has: kld_list='umass coretemp ichwd linux nvidia if_wpi' If there is agreement that this is a good direction to go I'll be happy to commit this along with the relevant /etc/defaults/rc.conf and rc.conf.5 changes. hth, Doug -- Nothin' ever doesn't change, but nothin' changes much. -- OK Go Breadth of IT experience, and depth of knowledge in the DNS.
