Would anyone here know where (and what name) the
deltas are saved when you boot and do a visual config
of the hardware.  In this screen, you are given
hardware to delete or edit from the boot probe.

The final option on this screen asks whether to save
this or not.  If you reply "Y" for yes, supposedly
this gets written out somewhere.

At this point, I suppose you make use of this
information by creating your own
/boot/loader.conf.local file.  

This question is for FreeBSD 4.0, but would also be
handy for 3.4, as there was never any answer to that
post either.  Searching "man loader" was no help.  

I am trying to find a way to test varying NIC's
without having to A - do a visual every boot, or B-
compile the NIC info into the kernel like I have been.
 Making a kernel for each NIC was a pain.

Thanks,
