Thank you for your comments. The User Config menu is completely disabled and isn't available in -CURRENT now. I strongly doubt it will ever come back. You see, we can now set/unset/edit device resource "hints" from the loader(8) prompt, thus, there is little need to have the old User Config menu compiled into the kernel. Please also have a look at my draft on the man page for device.hints(5). http://people.freebsd.org/~yokota/device.hints.5 The only thing which were available in the User Config, but is not in the loader(8) is the "Visual" User Config option. But, I expect such visual front-end to edit the device resource hints can be added to the loader, in one way or another.
