            Bug ID: 245532
           Summary: /boot/kernel vs. loader.8
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.1-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: freebsd at oldach.net

loader.8 states module_path is set to "/boot/kernel;/boot/modules" by default.
However, stand/defaults/loader.conf sets this to
"/boot/modules;/boot/dtb;/boot/dtb/overlays".
Worse, stand/common/help.common explains the default module_path is
"/boot/modules" with the kernel directory prepended.

This is not consistent.

Also, neither is really correct. In fact the kernel directory is NOT prepended
on my STABLE-12 machine, and loading standard modules from the default kernel
directory /boot/kernel does not work.
