That's just a bad example, linux has a loadable module for iBCS too.

Do you have a scsi card?
Do you have a sound card?
... etc.

I think its useful if it gets linux people less afraid of FreeBSD.

Of course its an ugly stop-gap, the whole kernel is moving to a more
dynamic model.  Eventually all drivers will be a one-line edit to
loader.conf, or something along those lines...
