I tried "load mpr" earler, but it complained it couldn't find it. I tried again a few minutes ago using "load /boot/kernel/mpr.ko", which spun for a bit then complained it couldn't load it before the kernel. I then loaded the kernel (by full path), and tried again, with no response. Just an immediate prompt. I tried "load /boot/kernel/zfs.ko" as well, in case mpr.ko was already still in memory, but that also returned an immediate prompt without saying anything. So, I think I still have something wrong with my attempts to "load". Should loading the mpr.ko before the kernel work? It didn't with my last attempt (which I realize now was 12.0-RELEASE, not 12.1-RELEASE). - Chris

Chris, After you've booted the kernel, the correct way to load a module that isn't already in the kernel, is to: kldload mpr To check if mpr is loaded, try kldstat -v|grep mpr However, if you've already placed mpr_load="YES" in your /etc/loader.conf and rebooted your device, then you probably need to move into a diagnostic phase.
