[PC-BSD Testing] upgrade from 9-0-b1.5 to b2.0 fails due to bad module_path

[Ian McNulty]

Possibly same reason as Julian as to why my upgrade from b1.5 to b2 failed.

Tried to recover from x86 DVD b2 but found that there is no longer the 
option to upgrade as there was with b1.5 DVD, (also have 8.2 on separate 
drive which was not picked up).

Will do a fresh install.
