>Description:
As the one line summary shows, the amd64 port is missing code to be able to 
load modules through the bootloader, unlike i386.

Perhaps the boot.cfg(8) manual page should reflect this reality and inform 
users that this option is only available for i386 currently.

This is just a reminder for people wanting to implement useful stuff.
