You shouldn't be using LKMs any more: use klds instead. If you really need to use an LKM, you need to either build a kernel with the lkm pseudo-device, or load the LKM kld. Note an important difference: /dev/lkm: No such file or directory This means that the file with the name /dev/lkm does not exist. /dev/lkm: Device not configured This means that there is no driver for the special file described in /dev/lkm.
