 Hi, Gleb!
 
 I have not digged deeply into kiconv functionality - I do not know way it 
 loads data into kernel. I use /usr/lib/libkiconv.so which makes all work for 
 me.  System utils mount_{cd9660,udf,msdosfs,ntfs} works just this way.
 IMHO if kernel interface is going to be changed the libkiconv.so is the best 
 place for changes. 
 
 In other hand I can not find anything about firmwire(9) - no mans, no pages on 
 www.freebsd.org
 
 Sincerely yours
 Dmitry
