I've just checked on the next machine (this is 3rd machine) and it doesn't
put '/boot/kernel' into 'kern.module_path' sysctl. That's why kldload(8)
cannot work properly.

The only difference that I'm seeing between our environments is that I use
new loader (with beastie picture) everywhere and you don't use it, right?
