boot.conf syntax

Micha³ Kurowski

Hi,

I've got quite basic/strange problem with "boot.conf" syntax.

My brand new laptop requires "disable apm, enable acpi" stanza to
boot bsd.mp. That's en easy part.

Now if I put it into "boot.conf" I' m getting this:

illegal argument apm

at the boot prompt - and I have to pass "-c" ...

What's the problem ?

boot(8) doesn't know these commands, they are available only in
boot_config(8). You don't need to boot -c and reenter this all the
time, you can invoke config(8) on your kernel ("config -ef bsd.mp")
and set and save your settings permanently.
