Prevent loading items from /boot/loader.conf
in [FreeBSD]

From: Helmut Schneider on 12 Jul 2008 11:26 Hi, I'm playing around with gmirror. I set geom_mirror_load="YES" at /boot/loader.conf. Is there a way from the boot menu to suppress loading geom for what soever reason? I tried "disable-module geom_mirror" which didn't work.

I had a typo at /etc/fstab and was (probably because of my KVM-over-IP switch) not able to type anything at the mountroot prompt while the keyboard worked fine at the boot loader. Booting from a live CD to mount the disk, alter /etc/fstab and/or /boot/load.conf sucks at that point - especially when you're at home starring at the remote console, incapable of action. -- No Swen today, my love has gone away My mailbox stands for lorn, a symbol of the dawn

OK unset geom_mirror_load no such file or directory OK disable-module geom_mirror geom_mirror will not be loaded. OK But it is loading regardless. -- No Swen today, my love has gone away My mailbox stands for lorn, a symbol of the dawn

This unloads everything, and you can manually load only the bits you want. OK unload OK load kernel OK load snd_hda OK boot |
