If you want to load radeonkms from loader, you must include the firmwares too, because automatic loading won't work (the filesystem isn't mounted at the time of the card initialization). To list the firmwares required by your card, "kldload" radeonkms and look at the loaded modules. Here's an example: $ kldstat | grep radeonkmsfw 19 1 0xffffffff81fc0000 189d radeonkmsfw_JUNIPER_pfp.ko 20 1 0xffffffff81fc2000 1ca6 radeonkmsfw_JUNIPER_me.ko 21 1 0xffffffff81fc4000 1325 radeonkmsfw_JUNIPER_rlc.ko In this case, one would need to build into/load: radeonkmsfw_JUNIPER_pfp radeonkmsfw_JUNIPER_me radeonkmsfw_JUNIPER_rlc
