>Description:

I am trying to load the acpiverbose module with the argume dump=true
at boot time (since I need the output from various devices attaching or
not attaching).

On the modload command line I would use something like:

	modload acpiverbose -b dump=true

The boot man page only describes 

	load module [arguments]

but not the syntax used for [arguments].
The boot.cfg manual page does not describe module arguments at all.
