The FreeBSD boot(8) block now supports /boot/config in addition to /boot.config as the boot block parameter file.
When both of them exist, the former will be used.[r231287]

Just to test it I've:
# echo '-s' > /boot.config

Then
# mv -v /boot/config /boot.config

Whichever is used, stage 2 boot, always claims it is /boot/config file and prints it's contest.
This is a tiny bug.

Just asking, what is the main benefit of additional /boot/config file?
