In the past (on older versions of FreeBSD), I've had reboots refuse to
work if I had any kernel modules loaded.  It didn't seem to matter
which kld I loaded.  I lost ready access to the hardware before I ever
solved the problem.  I got as far as adding printf's to the shutdown
code and as far as I could tell, it was correctly asking the BIOS to
reboot and then went off into la-la land.
