Default sysctl.conf settings not loading on boot

Hello all

Recently installed FreeBSD 8.0 for the first time on my Toshiba Satellite A215 laptop. Everything seems to work fine except I need to run
Code:
#sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=1
to get my sound to come out of the headphones. I'd like to set that as the default, but it resets back to 0 when I reboot. Since this is a laptop, I end up shutting down fairly often and don't want to change it manually every time. I tried adding
Code:
hw.snd.default_unit=1
to /etc/sysctl.conf but when I reboot, sysctl still resets to 0. Am I going about this the right way? I'm not sure why it won't load the new configuration on startup. Please let me know if any additional information would help.
Thanks

It's possible there's some /etc/rc.d/* script which sets this sysctl.

I'm at work and don't have a FreeBSD system availabe at the moment, but you can grep(1) /etc/ yourself (Tip: use -R).

Crap... I put it in /boot/loader.conf and it works fine now.

Thanks for the advice though
