THANK YOU!  That did it.

I had cvsup'd, rebuilt the kernel, and the machine would lock up with nvidia_load in the 
loader.conf -- since it was compiled under an older 7.0 current...  So, I rebooted edited out the 
nvdia_load from the loader.conf, booted, then rebuild the nvidia driver from the ports, and could 
not load it.  Your instructions fixed it.
