loader.conf setting ignored

[Ben Kelly]

Hello all,

I am trying to turn on geom debug at boot in order to help figure out my 
gvinum problem, but I can't seem to set the variable from loader.conf.  I 
can, however, set the variable from the loader prompt.

My loader.conf looks like:

  geom_vinum_load="YES"
  kern.geom.debugflags="1"

I verified that my loader.rc contains these lines:

  include /boot/loader.4th
  start

Any ideas on why debugflags cannot be set from loader.conf?  I tried googling 
and found many references to people using it this way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
