 Thanks, I'll try again tomorrow.

Done. Worked just like it should. Many thanks for your help. (And my
apologies for disbelieving you at first.) I have never had such quick
and helpful response to a PR before.

Maybe because PR is not the best way to communicate with FreeBSD developers?
It never hurts trying to ask/report/discuss things on mailing lists first.

There are only one small problems with that explanation: There is no
solaris.ko there. (I had in fact tried that first, since that is the
way it is set up on i386.) And the same problem occurs if I try to
load geom_eli.ko.

On second thought, geom_eli is probably a bad example because it too
depends on other kernel modules (I think). In any case, Exec format
error seems a seriously misleading error message if the problem is
really the failure to load a dependent module.

That's true, but if we knew an easy way to fix that, we would do it a long time 
ago.
BTW, you can also try chroot-ing to /mnt2 before kldload-ing modules.
But, yes, I totally agree that the layout of our livecd environment is not very
convenient.

P.S.
For an example (one of many) of how you can make things more convenient for
yourself:
