Hi,
I seem to be missing the /dev/loop0, /dev/loop1, etc. devices. This means that when I try to mount a filesystem image to a folder (with -o loop) mount complains about the missing loopback devices and the mount fails. Does anyone else have the same problem? Does this need to be reported? Thanks in advance.
edit: I found the problem myself. Sorry!

as root:
modprobe loop

Or add 'loop' to the MODULES files in /etc/rc.conf. It has been explained on the frontpage news when the new kernel hit the core repo, and discussed a few times on the forums.

@sirocco:
That solution is great and works... but only temporarily.
In order for the system to boot with the loopback devices permanently, just add a file called loopback-dev.conf under /etc/modules-load.d/ with the following contents:
loop
