I then did some reading. I find the archive search at freebsd.org kind of sucks. You could also try google.com/bsd. This was also on the current mailing list. I was thinking about submitting something to the doc project about stuff I find, but in the past they have emailed me back showing me it was already in them(usaully in a faq). So I haven't sent to many new items to them. Also in the past I have done a diff between my kernel conf and GENERIC to see the changes between updates, but I have learned most of it well enough to spot most things now. I also don't build in anything I can load. I guess you would have never have know with out many hours of poking around your system, but thats what these lists are for right? :)
