Same scenario:

DragonFly/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1
(root at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Mon Aug 15 15:40:56 GMT 2005)
Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf
Unable to load a kernel!
/
can't load 'kernel'

Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK set console=comconsole
OK boot
can't find 'kernel'
OK ls
/: not a directory
OK ls /
/: not a directory
OK ls /kernel
/kernel: not a directory
OK load /kernel
/kernel text=0x2043d0 data=0x286a0+0x52c04 syms=[0x4+0x30d40+0x4+0x380d3]
OK ls /modules/
/modules/: not a directory
OK load /modules/acpi.ko
/modules/acpi.ko text=0x49788 data=0x19ac+0xce4 syms=[0x4+0x68f0+0x4+0x8326]
OK load /modules/miibus.ko
/modules/miibus.ko text=0x13d90 data=0xa64+0x54 syms=[0x4+0x19f0+0x4+0x1ea0]
OK load /modules/if_fxp.ko
/modules/if_fxp.ko text=0x69e8 data=0xfdc+0x8 syms=[0x4+0xc00+0x4+0xb9c]
OK



Once "manually" booted:

# uname -a
DragonFly dragonfly.gactr.uga.edu 1.3.4-DEVELOPMENT DragonFly
1.3.4-DEVELOPMENT #0: Mon Aug 15 16:03:17 GMT 2005
root at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/dragonfly  i386

# sysctl -a |fgrep kern.module
kern.module_path: /;/boot/;/modules/
