Description David Magda 2003-06-27 16:10:01 UTC 
kldload(8) has the following under the FILES section:

FILES
     /boot/kernel  directory containing loadable modules.  Modules 
		   must have an extension of .ko.

This directory only exists in 5.x, not 4.x. The directory in question
for 4.x is /modules.

This 'bug' was introduced in rev 1.7.2.9.

Fix: 

Change the line to read "/modules".
How-To-Repeat: 
man kldload
