release/tools/ec2-builder.conf
59	Do we have cases where we'd add `./boot/loader.conf` twice? (E.g., here and in ec2.conf)

markj added inline comments.Sep 9 2025, 7:23 PM

release/tools/ec2-builder.conf
59	Yes. It can happen even more than that, e.g., vmimage.subr will add loader.conf entries if the root file system is on ZFS. It's harmless to have duplicate entries. I suspect the right solution is to have each cloudware variant specify its modifications declaratively rather than having code which hacks up the image in various ad-hoc ways.
