>Description:
      I cannot mount my Russian msdos file system with a correct Codepage and Locale using -L or -D keys:
mount_msdosfs: Unable to load iconv library: Shared object "libiconv.so" not found
: Unknown error: 0
mount_msdosfs: msdosfs_iconv: No such file or directory

mount_msdosfs fails to load iconv library, though kldstat shows that msdosfs_iconv.ko and libiconv.ko have been loaded:
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1    6 0xc0400000 5dfaf4   kernel
 2    1 0xc09e0000 51a18    acpi.ko
 3    1 0xc6eb3000 2000     msdosfs_iconv.ko
 4    1 0xc6eb5000 4000     libiconv.ko

It doesn't matter whether you recompile a kernel with LIBICONV and MSDOSFS_ICONV options or use existing modules, the problem persists.
