Um... I can't seem to load ethfoo.o w/o -s:

 	miyu# pwd
 	/home/cvs/src-2.0/sys/lkm/net/ethfoo/ethfoo/obj.i386
 	miyu# ls
 	ethfoo.o     ethfoo_lkm.o i386         machine      x86
 	miyu# modload ethfoo.o
 	modload: error initializing module: Program version wrong
 	miyu# modload -s ethfoo.o
 	Module loaded as ID 0
 	miyu# modstat
 	Type    Id   Offset Loadaddr Size Info     Rev Module Name
 	DEV       0  -1/-1  c8fd6000 0008 c8fd7900   2 ethfoo

I guess the Offset would give the major/minor number, but -1 is probably 
not the right one. Also, unloading paniced the system (dunno how, I was in 
X).
