            Bug ID: 250828
           Summary: kern.module_path does not include /boot/modules
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.2-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: billblake2018 at gmail.com

I use pefs for disk encryption.  The pefs port puts the kernel module into
/boot/modules; presumably, that is correct behavior.  However, the standard
kern.module_path does not include /boot/modules.  I ended up sticking

bootfile=`sysctl -n kern.bootfile`
kerndir=`expr "$bootfile" : '\(.*\)/kernel$'`
sysctl kern.module_path="$kerndir;/boot/modules"
unset bootfile kerndir

into my rc.local so that pefs would start normally.
