Yes, I've been seeing the same thing for about 6-12 months maybe more.
None of the people I asked were able to confirm, so I'm happy that I'm
not imagining it :)
I also can confirm this behaviour for month now (on 10.0-CURRENT amd64
with clang).

Have you tried:
OK boot /boot/kernel.generic/kernel
Use full path name always works for me
Manfred
I couldn't get any other method to work. I can also confirm this.
While working with Adrian testing ath changes, I frequently had to
reboot into an old kernel(/boot/ATH/kernel, full path seemed required)
to regain networking unless I physically moved the computer to add ethernet.
Also, it's really annoying when I would have to manually kldload each
module in order, especially opensolaris.ko and zfs.ko, and making sure I
loaded /boot/ATH/if_ath.ko before /boot/ATH/if_ath_pci.ko or else the
loader would load from /boot/kernel instead of /boot/ATH and I'd end up
with broken networking even though the kernel was right. I'd really
love it if there were a way for modules to be bundled with the kernel
file and loaded from the kernel instead of the filesystem, especially
since many modules can't be compiled in.
As a side note, my /boot/loader is from -STABLE, mod time of January 24
this year. This could be an issue on -STABLE also.
