            Bug ID: 220014
           Summary: Handbook always recommends loading modules from
                    /boot/loader.conf, never mentioning kld_list
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: salternate@gmx.com

So rc.conf(5) says "Loading modules at this point in the boot process is mu=
ch
faster than doing it via /boot/loader.conf for those modules not necessary =
for
mounting local disk."

I first saw mention somewhere that it was safer to load video drivers from
kld_list so the display wouldn=E2=80=99t be blanked for a long time during =
boot, so you
would have the slightest idea what was going wrong if something does wrong.=
..
and indeed it has turned out to be much nicer to put i915kms in kld_list.
