 I've tested this on 7.0-RELEASE and can't reproduce the problem using 
 the following:
 
 Inside /boot/loader.conf, I have loader_conf_files="/boot/modules.conf". 
 Inside /boot/modules.conf, I have nullfs_load="YES" and ntfs_load="YES". 
 When I reboot, both of those modules are loaded into the kernel.
 
 The only thing I can do to reproduce the results is, inside 
 /boot/modules.conf, modify it to read NULLFS_load="YES" and 
 NTFS_load="YES". I wasn't sure if the capitilised module name inside 
 MODULENAME_load="YES" was just a "replace with lower case module name" 
 or whether the module name is being entered in capitals.
 
 Just to check the basics:
 
 1. Is loader_conf_files spelled correctly in /boot/loader.conf?
 
 2. Does the value of loader_conf_files in /boot/loader.conf match the 
 file in /boot it's meant to load?
 
 3. Do the modules load when you kldload them manually when the system is 
 up and running?
