kldload and kldconfig on 5.2.1-RELEASE / Ultra5

[Ben Kirkpatrick]

   I'm having a problem with kldload always saying it can't find a .ko
file.  I check kldconfig and it seems confused.

   This is immediately after a reboot, there are no paths:

ebola# kldconfig -r
;
ebola# kldconfig /boot/kernel
ebola# kldconfig -r

ebola# kldconfig -m /boot/modules
ebola# kldconfig -r
;
ebola#

Any ideas what to do to get a .ko loaded?  I'm on a custom kernel, did I
remove something necessary for LKMs?

Thanks,
