Randy,
Read src/UPDATING 20040806:
Module loading has been fixed. Some older installations will
drop proper module_path initialization and modules will fail to
load properly. If you have a line in /boot/loader.rc that says:
"initialize drop", do (i386 only):
cp /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/loader.rc /boot/loader.rc
chown root:wheel /boot/loader.rc
chmod 444 /boot/loader.rc
