Problem: Loading the driver nvidia x11/nvidia-driver (either the recent support
version 340.24, or 340.32 or even the recent BETA 343.13) freezes a CURRENT
booting off UEFI when the kernel module is loaded via loader.conf. The system
in question runs FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #2 r271869: Fri Sep 19 13:28:03 CEST 2014
amd, is a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E540 with the most recent Lenovo UEFI Firmware
available as of this date.

The last message to see on vt() screen is what comes shortly before the kernel
messages run over the screen when the kernel is booting and states some
resoltuion informations.


The problem can be solved by loading the kernel module via /etc/rc.conf[.local]
with

kld_load="nvidia"
