Hello,
Well, this is exactly what I've conluded : don't use the loader for now (I've recompiled my kernel).
I had a mail exchange with Mike Smith (on -Current) and I told him I would very much like to have a committer add a comment in /boot/loader.conf telling newbies about with little problem (don't know if I was heard)
TfH

I'm answering because you don't seem to have gotten any other (public)
answers, not because I'm sure of my facts.
Quite a few people have reported problems loading modules from the
loader (different modules, mind you). I'm pretty sure that I saw a
clueful person suggest loading them out of /etc/rc.local for now. I
can't check the archives to validate this, so you might want to think
about it more than I have. :-)
Ciao,
Sheldon.
