    You can still run a monolithic kernel as I do. You can also use NO_MODULES
    as a make option to prevent the build and installation of modules. See
    also MODULES_OVERRIDE is /sys/conf/NOTES.

    If you never specified a module to load, then no modules should be loaded.
    (Ref kldstat) Maybe the default behavior has changed. I wouldn't know
    though since I don't use the default behavior.

    There are two ways to build a kernel. There is 'make buildkernel' and
    there is 'config KERNEL; make depend; make' Take care which options apply
    to which method.

    Later,
