Yes. Your kern.module_path is wrong. It should have also /boot/kernel/.
If you load manually geom_mirror.ko by doing:

	# kldload /boot/kernel/geom_mirror.ko

it will work.

The problem you're seeing is related to loader.rc changes probably.
If you have loader.rc rev1.1, you should manually update to at least
1.2. The file should be here:

	/sys/boot/i386/loader/loader.rc

I reported this problem to jmg@ which did the change and I was sure it
was fixed somehow...
This was some time ago, so not sure if this is the problem...
