Re: Building new FreeBSD box - some assistance needed

I'm setting my semaphores on FreeBSD/amd64 as follows:
$ more /boot/loader.conf
geom_mirror_load="YES"
kern.ipc.semmns=4096
kern.ipc.semmni=2048
machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=1
$

(the geom_mirror_load and machdep.hyperthreading_allowed are not relevant
for this, but that's my entire
/boot/loader.conf file).

How may I help?

Subject: [ADMIN] Building new FreeBSD box - some assistance needed

I am building a new FreeBSD 6.1 box to migrate from the Windows PostgreSQL.
I am having some issues getting PostgreSQL to load when I try to duplicate
my configuration as running on the Windows box.

I have made the modifications to loader.conf. All of the SHM values are
being set properly (as I can see them in sysctl -a with the new values), but
the sem values are not being updated.
I have limited the # of connections to bypass this minor problem, but would
like to be able to bump it.

Do I need to rebuild the kernel for these values to take effect?
