>Description:
When you drop to a fixit shell from sysinstall you are unable to load kernel modules until after creating symlinks.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot from an installation media, and enter a fixit shell from sysinstall.
kldload <anymodule>
fails here.
>Fix:
ln -s /dist/lib /lib
ln -s /dist/boot/kernel /boot/modules

Perhaps these should be created automatically when using a fixit shell?
