Nvidia_load not working

[Tomoaki AOKI]

If you're booting via UEFI, it should be because r305779 (MFC of
r305484) is not yet MFS'ed (causing insufficient memory to load
nvidia.ko).

See below for detail.

If so, while waiting for MFS, you can load it via rc.conf by

  adding nvidia-modeset.ko (or nvidia.ko depending on which version
  you're installing) on kldlist= line, or

  directly writing kldload command in rc.conf, or

  rebuild loader.efi with the patch obtained below applied.

    https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/stable/11/sys/boot/efi/loader/copy.c?r1=302408&r2=305779&view=patch

  don't forget to give -p2 option to patch command line.

If you're booting via legacy BIOS mode, sorry, I have no idea. :-(
