Sorry, typo - I am not posting email from that machine, yet.

I tried nvidia_load="YES" and cpuctl_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf
The modules were not loaded at boot time.  I can manually load the
modules after login.

# ssh <ip address> cat /boot/loader.conf  
cpuctl_load="YES"
nvidia_load="YES"
linux_load="YES"

I checked for strange characters.
# ssh <ip address> hd /boot/loader.conf
