I had two distinct issues on one machine that were entirely due to module loading. One was sound, using snd_driver instead of a specific sound driver caused the machine to reboot. The other issue was nvidia. The binary nvidia driver caused an instant reboot if loaded too early, ie from loader.conf. There was no problem if the module was loaded from rc.local.
