Section 7.5, Device Hints, shows some example boot loader configurations for devices. It also contains references to device.hints(5), kenv(1), loader.conf(5), and loader(8) Try clicking on the links in the Handbook for further detail about these topics. Sound configuration detail is rather sparse- but this area is under active development. Please check back regularly for updates. Hope this helps, jpb === PS- Your English is adequate- perhaps you can help translate the Handbook into Portuguese. There is a Brazilian Portuguese translation project at: http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/docproj/translations.html
