I had not thought that was the problem, since according to
something in the docs or manpages -- which I now cannot locate
-- missing kernel support should have resulted in a different
message.  How would I check, to be sure?  I am using the kernel
from the installation CD, not one I have built:

# uname -a
FreeBSD fbsd61 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Sun May  7 04:32:43 UTC 2006     root at opus.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386
