Just as a side note:  does mergemaster or installworld handle the
installation of /boot/device.hints?

If it's mergemaster, then everything is fine, it'll detect your changes.
If it's installworld, you'll lose your changes at the next update.

Either way, I find it nicer/simpler to use /boot/loader.conf for this, as
nothing in the build/update process touches it, and it keeps all boot/kernel
options in one file.  And, it overrides any settings in device.hints.
