The standard way of loading a particular module at boot from
/boot/loader.conf is 'modulename_load="YES"', right?  This
doesn't seem to be possible with the 3dfx module, however...
Since it's name starts with a number, it causes a syntax error.

Being FORTH-impaired, I have no idea how to work around this...

Anybody know how to make this work?

Also, it doesn't seem to be possible to compile 'device tdfx'
statically into the kernel either, since it depends on symbols
that only exist in the kernel when compat_linux is defined, and
COMPAT_LINUX is no longer an option, is it?
