As you've shown the magic is in the loader.conf. I don't know a good way
to handle this other than attempt to load every module (like Microsoft NT
installer does) - and hope the probe of a driver that doesn't claim a
device doesn't leave that device in a bad state.

Have you tried putting every module in /boot/kernel into loader.conf in a
"load" statement?
