Description

This is defined in /boot/defaults/loader.conf:

loader_conf_dirs="/boot/loader.conf.d"

It produces the error at boot:

Failed to load conf dir '/boot/loader.conf.d': not a directory

This should be removed or the directory added to prevent the error.

Tested 23.05.1

Stock FreeBSD comes with the directory.

Thus the best long term option is to just add one, but I don't know to do it in a pfSense-friendly manner so someone(tm) else will have to take this.

I spot checked several systems here and they all had that directory already. Does this only appear on a new fresh install?

My system (6100) was a clean & fresh install for 23.05 (now on 23.09d) and the loader.conf.d directory is in place and empty.

Moving this ahead for now since it doesn't appear to be a problem and may not even be actionable. If that is the case we can close it out.

The directory is there even on a completely fresh install. I'm not sure what, if anything, we need to do here.
