Loading modules from /boot/loader.conf

Dear all,

I'm running FreeBSD head of today on a G4 MacMini. I'm trying to
load a kernel module using /boot/loader.conf by having the line

tcp_rack_load="YES"

in /boot/loader.conf

However, this doesn't work and results in:

FreeBSD/powerpc Open Firmware loader, Revision 0.1
(Tue Jun 12 01:08:20 UTC 2010 root at releng3.nyi.freebsd.org)
Memory: 1048576KB
Booted from: /pic at f4000000/ata- at d/disk at 0

Loading /boot/default/loader.conf
/boot/kernel/kernel data=0x706ac+0xed588 syms=[0x4+0xa3100+0x4+0x10bc45]
/boot/entropy size=0x1000
/boot/kernel/tcp_rack.ko text=0x2433c data=0x1d0+0x220 syms=[0x4+0x15a0+0x4+0x17bd]
loading required module 'kernel'
module 'kernel' exists but with wrong version

Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
...

I have no problems when running

kldload tcp_rack

after the system completely booted. Then the modules loads without any problems.

Any idea what am I doing wrong?

Best regards
Michael
