            Bug ID: 220014
           Summary: Handbook always recommends loading modules from
                    /boot/loader.conf, never mentioning kld_list
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: salternate at gmx.com

So rc.conf(5) says "Loading modules at this point in the boot process is much
faster than doing it via /boot/loader.conf for those modules not necessary for
mounting local disk."

I first saw mention somewhere that it was safer to load video drivers from
kld_list so the display wouldn’t be blanked for a long time during boot, so you
would have the slightest idea what was going wrong if something does wrong...
and indeed it has turned out to be much nicer to put i915kms in kld_list.
