Just to clarify that an earlier commit

http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/commit/2461cb133c394b4a1aac7d2ce9989ffa14ee6141

remedied the problem that tcpdump did not recognize the pflogd log
file at all. The changes were from FreeBSD; the idea is that when
writing to logfile, the struct pcap_sf_pkthdr should be used and not
pcap_pkthdr. I did not notice that when scanning the logfile, that
same struct, pcap_sf_pkthdr, should be used. In short, both the
previous commit and this commit should have been made at once; both
are from FreeBSD's pflogd.

I did not track down why the earlier version with pcap_pkthdr works in
OpenBSD and not in DragonFly or FreeBSD.

I have not seen it with 3.6.x on Virtualbox. I did a fresh install
with dfly-x86_64-3.8.0RC.iso.bz2 on Virtualbox this morning, uname -a

DragonFly dflybox 3.8-RELEASE DragonFly v3.8.0rc-RELEASE #12: Sun May
25 23:15:08 PDT 2014
root at pkgbox64.dragonflybsd.org:/usr/obj/build/home/justin/src/sys/X86_64_GENERIC
 x86_64

and noticed the message when booting the installed system from hdd
(the install cd loaded both modules fine). After the kernel loads from
hdd, it says:

--
Unable to load /boot/kernel/acpi
Unable to load /boot/kernel/ehci
ACPI autoload failed - inappropriate file type or format
EHCI autoload failed - inappropriate file type or format
--

and then continues fine. kldstat only shows kernel.
