It should be in sync.  I rebooted twice after the freebsd-update =
install.  Neither time it could load modules.  However, that is the only =
explanation I have heard as to what might be causing the problem.  I =
didn=E2=80=99t see any error messages from freebsd-install, but its =
possible I missed one.  I don=E2=80=99t see though why open would report =
file not found.  Is it hiding something from ktrace as to where it is =
really looking?
