Oops.
You're using an ELF kernel, I trust (you must, because you got 3.0-current
on Monday). Check OBJFORMAT in /sys/compile/KERNELNAME/Makefile just to
be sure, though. I do remember that modules in general used to crash
a.out kernels back in the days when a.out kernels were actually used...
My -current machine is presently awaiting a new disk which should, uh,
"make it more useful" (the disk should be arriving today; I'll make
time to install it over the weekend). I hope to be able to help you
out more then.

The fact that /modules didn't exist already leads me to believe that
perhaps you haven't done a "make world" since you grabbed -current
(since /modules *should* be in the mtree file that make world uses).
I don't expect the emulator to work at all if you haven't done a "make
world" and then built a kernel. Could it be that you're still running
an old release even though you have -current sources?
Which release did you have before you grabbed -current?

I'll check it out when I get the -current box up and running.

Hmm, that could be interesting. Bear in mind that the emulator is
still in early days, though.
