My current FreeBSD installation does not take care at all of the /boot/loader.conf's commented lines.

Hello.

This is my */boot/loader.conf :*


loader_logo="daemon"
#vmm_load="YES"
nmdm_load="YES"
if_tap_load="YES"
if_bridge_load="YES"
bridgestp_load="YES"
fusefs_load="YES"
tmpfs_load="YES"
verbose_loading="YES"
#pptdevs="0/2/0 2/0/0 2/0/1 2/0/2 2/0/3"
kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable="0"
kern.geom.label.gptid.enable="0"
cryptodev_load="YES"
zfs_load="YES"
kern.racct.enable=1
aio_load="YES"
vboxdrv_load="YES"
kern.cam.scsi_delay=10000


I REALLY want to know why,if I have commented the two lines related to
bhyve,*#vmm_load="YES"* and "*#pptdevs="0/2/0 2/0/0 2/0/1 2/0/2 2/0/3*" I'm
still able to launch a bhyve vm passing thru the gpus whose PCI addresses
are inside the pptdevs argument. It seems that my system does not care at
all to read the comment that I have added inside the */boot/loader.conf*
file. Or there is some different reason that I would like to understand.
This is the proof. Despite the comment on the line line "*#vmm_load="YES*",I
still see that the vmm module is still loaded :


# kldstat | grep vmm

10    1 0xffffffff82794000   5848b8 vmm-intel.ko


as well as the ppt "driver",it is still attached,despite I have commented
the line "*#pptdevs="0/2/0 2/0/0 2/0/1 2/0/2 2/0/3"*

I presume that every line I want to comment on this file will be ignored.
WHY ?
