>Description:

The kern.module_path sysctl is not set based on the loader variable module_path,
this is a problem when booting to an alternate kernel name which has KLD's
which are not binary compatible (because they won't load or you'll get a panic
etc..)

>How-To-Repeat:

Perform 'boot kernel.old' in the loader and observe the kern.module_path sysctl.

>Fix:
