Description Daniel O'Connor 2000-12-19 23:50:01 UTC 
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..)

Fix: 

http://www.dons.net.au/~darius/module_path.diff
How-To-Repeat: 
Perform 'boot kernel.old' in the loader and observe the kern.module_path sysctl.
