I had the same problem on my machine using pkg-base with a non-default
named kernel package.

As a workaround, I created a symlink at /boot/kernel pointing to the
correct kernel directory. This seemed to fix the problem, but required this
manual intervention.

It would be good if this wasn't required, and the kernel package used the
kernel parameter in loader.conf to determine where to run the post-install
script.
