Hi.

In the FreeBSD manual on '17.6.9 Using the ATAPI/CAM Driver', it only talks about rebuilding the kernel with "device atapicam".

I think it should mention that it actually is possible to just add 'atapicam_load="YES"' to /boot/loader.conf.

Perhaps I have missed or overlooked something and in that case just ignore my message, but otherwise I think it would improve the manual. I for one just rebuild the kernel the other day just to enable the ATAPI/CAM driver, but had I known it could be loaded from loader.conf, I wouldn't have rebuild it.

Best and kind regards,
Rico
