Same here, but I was able to boot the kernel (installed to /boot/test)
with no errors.

But Xorg fails to start.  That may not be related to the kldxref error
itself but is perhaps due to other changes in the kernel which cause the
Nvidia driver to fail at startup.  I'm not willing to rebuild the Nvidia
driver to test my hypothesis.
