I cannot find it on my system either. > There is a linux_adobe.ko kernel module that needs to be loaded as well, the linux.ko is not sufficient. Don't ask me why, I'm not a kernel hacker. The module isn't installed in the /boot/kernel nor /boot/modules directories. I'm not sure exactly where it's installed, but there's a rc.d script that loads it. Try this /usr/local/etc/rc.d/linux_adobe start And put linux_adobe_enable="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf to have it load automagically when the system boots.
