--- Comment #3 from Dave <dcbdbis@comcast.net> ---
I also have the issue, but it goes much deeper than just NVIdia. It affects any
3rd party module you may try to load from /boot/loader.conf.

It appears that the loader is ignoring the configured module_path in the
/boot/defaults/loader.conf file which includes /boot/modules as a legit search
path for other modules.....Loader is ignoring this directive and is only
looking at /boot/kernel for it's modules. Thus the loader dies and pukes out a
CPU register dump on your screen.

The temporary fix is to either load it in the scripts (as mentioned), or copy
the module from /boot/modules to /boot/kernel

It the module exists in /boot/kernel.....you can continue to load your modules
in the loader.conf file normally.


FYI,


Sincerely and respectfully,


Dave
