filemon is not a device, it's an option.  So you can't have "device
filemon" in your kernel config file.

I compile it with makeoptions MODULES_OVERRIDE=3D"filemon ..." in my
kernel config file.

I also load it from /boot/loader.conf using filemon_load=3D"YES"

So, there are various ways to get filemon loaded.
