That was the problem. For some reason that module didn't get loaded. Sigh, I guess I need to say darn ol' operator, eh. It worked immediately after I did kldload linux. I always thought that that was what linux_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf did. I guess I'll need to load it out of /boot/loader.conf. I don't remember doing this before but maybe when I installed some linux program the installation took care of it for me. So anyway. Thank you very much.
