That was a bug on the -stable branch. I've been told it's since been
fixed, but haven't verified it. Since my workstation is in pieces and
I'm using my test machine as a backup, I'm not going to be verifying
it anytime soon.

I'm worried a bit about the *.ko files being in /. Move modules to
modules.old (removing the old modules.old), then mkdir modules and
move all the *.ko files to modules and try booting again.

You don't have to include it. The only thing I can think that you did
wrong was got the name of the variable wrong in make.conf.

Some of them at least.

That you've got a buggy bit of hardware. I think 7 is normally the
printer.
