Yes=E2=80=94thank you I found that, mentioned in a previous e-mail, I just l= ooked at the Lua source in stand/ and found it. But yeah, I noticed at= least one other person from a Google search that was trying to figure out h= ow to do that, everything points to the menu or the prompt (-v) being the on= ly two options. Tunable I assume you mean via sysctl that might also be usef= ul, too but I was just going to say the documentation for loader.conf specif= ically:

https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?loade= r.conf(5)

It would be nice if it were mentioned in there, too.
<= /div>

Already pushed a fix befo= re your email to add it..
