QuestionQ22

Basic BSD System Administration

What is the purpose of the /boot/loader.conf file on OpenBSD?

  • A Specify where to install the bootloader.
  • B Specify the kernel image to load.
  • C Specify options for starting operating systems other than BSD.
  • D Specify kernel configuration options.
  • E Specify which system services to start.
Explanation

A boot-loader configuration selects the kernel image that the loader will load at startup. On current OpenBSD, the analogous configuration file is /etc/boot.conf, not /boot/loader.conf; the latter path is used by FreeBSD.
