Description

On a full install the default /boot/loader.conf contains:

autoboot_delay="3" 
vm.kmem_size="435544320" 
vm.kmem_size_max="535544320" 
kern.ipc.nmbclusters="0" 

After a firmware update, this file is 0 bytes.

Side note: wouldn't it be best to merge new changes in here instead of blowing away the existing file? I have a firewall that now must be run with DMA disabled from loader.conf and if I don't remember to touch /tmp/no_upgrade_reboot_required and fix loader.conf before reboot, it would trash the install.
