If you're booting via UEFI, it should be because r305779 (MFC of
r305484) is not yet MFS'ed (causing insufficient memory to load
nvidia.ko).

See below for detail.

  https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-stable-11/2016-September/000503.html


If so, while waiting for MFS, you can load it via rc.conf by

  adding nvidia-modeset.ko (or nvidia.ko depending on which version
  you're installing) on kldlist= line, or

  directly writing kldload command in rc.conf, or

  rebuild loader.efi with the patch obtained below applied.

    https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/stable/11/sys/boot/efi/loader/copy.c?r1=302408&r2=305779&view=patch

  don't forget to give -p2 option to patch command line.

If you're booting via legacy BIOS mode, sorry, I have no idea. :-(
