Kernel Module Support ?!!? and Kernel Limits ..

[Vahric MUHTARYAN]

You mean FreeBSD make all device support moduler ?! and you said that
-- not linked static but under the /boot/kernel everything is module ...
?!  
And I don't understand why freebsd makes a module all of them ?!?!?! I
have to choose which one will be module which one won't be ... is it
must ?! 


Secound I think I can't explain correct ... 
When I build kernel Where modules must be stored under /boot/modules or
/boot/kernel ?!

When you build a kernel, usually all available modules are build, too.
If you comment out sth., it's not linked static into the kernel, but
the module will be available.

See kldload(8) for details.

I don't understand your question. Can you please ask it in other words?

See sysctl.conf(5) and loader.conf(5) as well as sysctl(8).
