Well, what is there is the following

#!/bin/sh
# $FreeBSD: src/sys/modules/joy/joy.sh,v 1.5 1999/08/28 00:47:23 peter Exp $

kldload joy

The permissions are
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  100 Aug 27  1999 /usr/src/sys/modules/joy/joy.sh

I didn't look into that. I saw that joy.sh had been moved to the attic on the 
cvs-repository and stopped at that point. FWIW, my config file doesn't have 
anything to say about a "joy".

It doesn't make sense for joy/Makefile to even be used but if you delete the 
reference in modules/Makefile, cvsup will replace it. If you add joy.sh, you 
shouldn't have the problem.
