Description

After vmwate tools package installation, file /boot/loader.conf has inforrect syntax , which prevents kernel modules from loading.
Tested on 2.0 RC3 64-bit pfSense only.
Steps to reproduce:
1) downloaded and installed 2.0 RC3 64-bit version on ESXi server;
2) enabled firmware update, enabled unsigned builds and updated to the latest available version (build from June 28);
3) installed package open-vm-tools;

After reboot loading /boot/loader.conf file throws an error. File looks like this, note line starting with kern.hz.

autoboot_delay="3"
vm.kmem_size="435544320"
vm.kmem_size_max="535544320"
kern.ipc.nmbclusters="0"
kern.hz=100vmblock_load="YES"
vmmemct_load="YES"
vmhgfs_load="YES"
vmxnet_load="YES"

Expected:
correct loader.conf file with vmblock_load="YES" line separated from kern.hz=100
