I see you load usb as module but 'device uhci' or 'device ohci' is still has
to be in kernel (i can't see it such modules in /boot/kernel/), isn't it?
If I remove 'device usb' from kernel putting it in loader.conf as module, I
got usb-related error then compiling kernel, and putting 'device usb' back
in the kernel makes buildkernel happy.  maybe I do smth wrong? Would you
mind to show me your kernconf.
Thanks
