Synopsis: [modules] small error in modules installation

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: arundel
State-Changed-When: Wed Nov 24 01:29:40 UTC 2010
State-Changed-Why: 
As Ruslan noticed there are millions of wonderful ways of shooting yourself in
the foot. Deleting the directory ${KMODDIR} points to is one of them. For the
average user kernel module will be installed to /boot/kernel/ which will be
created by mtree. if you decide to either delete that directory or point
${KMODDIR} to a non-existing directory you *will* run into problems. FreeBSD
doesn't keep you from doing such magical tricks, but you cannot expect it to
have a safety belt for every imaginable situation.
