>Description:

x11/nvidia-driver installs nvidia.ko in to /boot/kernel, with these two
lines in the pkg-plist:

    %%FREEBSD5%%@cwd /boot/kernel
    nvidia.ko

Recompiling and installing a new kernel will blow away /boot/kernel.  This
is bad.

>How-To-Repeat:

N/A

>Fix:

According to hier(7), the module_path definition in 
/boot/defaults/loader.conf, and the note at the bottom of:

    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html

third party modules should install in to /boot/modules/ instead.  So a simple

    -%%FREEBSD5%%@cwd /boot/kernel
    +%%FREEBSD5%%@cwd /boot/modules

to the pkg-plist file should suffice.
