Hi Gilberto,

When the handbook doesn't go into detail on a subject (like the bootloader),
it often gives pointers (WWW links or printed citations) to other written 
material that you can read for for information.

Section 7.5, Device Hints, shows some example boot loader configurations
for devices.   It also contains references to 
device.hints(5), kenv(1), loader.conf(5), and loader(8)

Try clicking on the links  in the Handbook for further detail about these 
topics.

Sound configuration detail is rather sparse- but this area is under active
development.  Please check back regularly for updates.

Hope this helps,
jpb

PS- Your English is adequate- perhaps you can help translate the Handbook
into Portuguese.  There is a Brazilian Portuguese translation project at:
