sorry if i missed something (don't see details in the bug report) - is 
the issue that the run(4) kernel module is not being loaded?  is there 
an error when the system attempts to load the kernel module in the dmesg 
buffer?  if it is not being loaded automagically what happens when you 
manually load the module via "kldload" or by updating rc.conf?
