modulename_load="YES" is the syntax used in the loader.conf file.
"load modulename" (without the quotes) is the syntax used at the loader
prompt.

So at the loader prompt, try the following:  load mpr
Or possibly:  load mpr.ko
Or, to get right finicky:  load /boot/kernel/mpr.ko

You should be able to use "ls" to see what .ko files are available, and in
which directory, in order to load them.
