... yeah "*might* happen" but did not.

Assuming that the final result is the same either midifing /etc/rc.conf
or on the run (#sysctl ...) I have choisen the second because the first
method did not let the kernel load the firmware for my graphic card.

Anyway, just to live dangerously, I was using X11
(Office,Tor,Mail,CUPS,Xsane) tring to crash it, which didn't happen.

For an instable FreeBSD version is no too bad.
I simply thought to share this aiming to create an howto for a Desktop
FreeBSD version and attract more people toward FreeBSD.
