Thanks Freddie and Miroslav.

I tried "load mpr" earler, but it complained it couldn't find it.  I tried
again a few minutes ago using "load /boot/kernel/mpr.ko", which spun for
a bit then complained it couldn't load it before the kernel.  I then
loaded the kernel (by full path), and tried again, with no response.  Just
an immediate prompt.  I tried "load /boot/kernel/zfs.ko" as well, in case
mpr.ko was already still in memory, but that also returned an immediate prompt
without saying anything.  So, I think I still have something wrong with my
attempts to "load".  Should loading the mpr.ko before the kernel work?  It
didn't with my last attempt (which I realize now was 12.0-RELEASE,
not 12.1-RELEASE).
