Yeah, if you put a kernel module in /boot/kernel, installkernel will
wipe it out when you install a new kernel. That's why there is
/boot/modules for kernel modules. installkernel shouldn't touch that.
Change to: ln -s /usr/local/modules/fuse.ko /boot/modules/fuse.ko
or
add this to /boot/loader.conf:
module_path="/boot/modules:/usr/local/modules"
fusefs_load="YES"
