Bug #1197

Loader doesn't load MODULE_DEPENDS when loading from interactive prompt
Added by corecode over 15 years ago.
Updated about 10 years ago.
Description
Usually the loader loads required modules automatically, when adding
MODULE_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf. This doesn't seem to happen when
issuing "load MODULE" at the interactive loader prompt.
It also seems that the loader "forgets" to load some modules, or rather ignores
them:
I have ums_load="YES" in loader, but it didn't get loaded (no output at least).
Typing "load ums" didn't have any effect. Didn't complain, nor load the module.
For reference my /boot/loader.conf:
boot_verbose=""
ums_load="YES"
vn_load="YES"
vesa_load="YES"
if_re_load="YES"
linux_load="YES"
umass_load="YES"
vinum_load="YES"
vinum.drives="/dev/ad4 /dev/ad5"
vinum.root="root"
dumpdev="/dev/ad4s1d"
snd_hda_load="YES"
When adding
usb_load="YES"
to loader.conf, loader properly loads ums as well.

Hi,
I believe this is no longer the case because issuing 'load' commands from the loader prompt works. It also seems to be able to resolve dependencies:
Booting in 6 seconds...
Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK
OK load dm_target_striped
dm_target_striped.ko size 0x1b5c8 at 0x1ae9000
loading required module 'dm'
dm.ko size 0xacd68 at 0x1b05000
Closing this one, feel free to reopen if you believe anything's left.
Cheers,
Antonio Huete
