    20040806:
            Module loading has been fixed. Some older installations will
            drop proper module_path initialization and modules will fail to
            load properly. If you have a line in /boot/loader.rc that says:
            "initialize drop", do (i386 only):
                    cp /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/loader.rc /boot/loader.rc
                    chown root:wheel /boot/loader.rc
                    chmod 444 /boot/loader.rc
