When the system boot, go to the loader prompt.
Type:
unload
Type:
load /boot/kernel/kernel

Then load in your modules in with the same process.

Finally, type:

boot

You can then look at your loader.conf and diagnose any issue that might be in it, or file a bug if there is really something wrong.

Hope this helps!
