>Description:

When building with KERNEL_DIR and putting the resulting kernel into
/netbsd (instead of /netbsd/kernel) one sees in dmesg:

kern.module.path=/netbsd

This is wrong, because this is just a file.

In the case of a kernel file /netbsd I propose that the old default of

/stand/amd64/10.99.14/modules

is used instead, to make it easier to switch between KERNEL_DIR=yes
and no, and for upgrades.
