Thanks John, I have cpufreq added via the boot/loader.conf which always
works. However, over the weekend, I was testing some boot changes and tried
to add cpufreq AFTER the kernel - unsuccessfully.  This was amd64 10.3Beta1
and 10.3Beta3.

A workaround (for you) might be to remove it from the kernel and load
cpufreq via loader.conf?

I have some other problems (with usb nic's axge,axe) but I'll pursue if I
get time for enough info for a PR
Regards.
