2# MINIMAL -- Mostly Minimal kernel configuration file for FreeBSD/amd64
3#
4# Many definitions of minimal are possible. The one this file follows is
5# GENERIC, minus all functionality that can be replaced by loading kernel
6# modules.
7#
8# Exceptions:
9# o (non-loaded) random is included due to uncertainty...
10# o Many networking things are included
11#
12# For now, please run changes to these list past imp@freebsd.org
13#
14# For more information on this file, please read the config(5) manual page,
15# and/or the handbook section on Kernel Configuration Files:
16#
17#    https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/kernelconfig/#kernelconfig-config
18#
19# The handbook is also available locally in /usr/share/doc/handbook
20# if you've installed the doc distribution, otherwise always see the
21# FreeBSD World Wide Web server (https://www.FreeBSD.org/) for the
22# latest information.
23#
24# An exhaustive list of options and more detailed explanations of the
25# device lines is also present in the ../../conf/NOTES and NOTES files.
26# If you are in doubt as to the purpose or necessity of a line, check first
27# in NOTES.
