There are several files with such content. For architecture-
independent and general settings:

/usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES

For i386 or amd64 architecture, individual:

/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES
/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/NOTES

Similarly, you'll find the DEFAULTS and GENERIC files helpful.

Have a look at "man src.conf" for dealing with the creation
of modules.

If I remember correctly, you'll need "device sc", "device vga"
and "device splash" for the splash screen and screen saver
support.

Also see /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES where several savers are
listed with options like "device warp_saver".
