*oof* Don't know what I was thinking. There is NO implicit '.'. There is NO searching the current directory first. Only the kern.modules_path search path is used. This explains why your last case - cd("/tmp"); kldload("procfs"); - does not work. If you specify the full path, though, that is tried first before the search path.
