Bluetooth modules don't load on RELENG_5

[Tai-hwa Liang]

Eric,

  Was your RELENG_5 upgraded from 5.[012]-RELEASE? If so, try to fix the
module loading problem by following directions described in src/UPDATING:

20040806:
        Module loading has been fixed.  Some older installations will
        drop proper module_path initialization and modules will fail to
        load properly.  If you have a line in /boot/loader.rc that says:
        "initialize drop", do (i386 only):
                cp /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/loader.rc /boot/loader.rc
                chown root:wheel /boot/loader.rc
                chmod 444 /boot/loader.rc
