Almost certainly your old conf.modules file or a component file
(probably aliases) in /etc/modutils/ didn't end with a newline.  Just
edit /etc/conf.modules to

alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
alias char-major-67 coda

and make sure to fix /etc/modutils/aliases (or whatever).

If you didn't edit that file yourself, you may want to file a bug
report with the vendor.
