.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
utility allows one to view or save any device configuration information
|
|
|
|
|
which was changed in userconfig (-c) session. Most typically, it is written
|
|
|
|
|
to a /boot/kernel.conf file which is then loaded from /boot/loader.rc
|
|
|
|
|
(using "load -t userconfig_script /boot/kernel.conf"), saving the user
|
|
|
|
|
from having to re-enter it each time the system is booted.
