No, that's the only one. I thought it wouldn't load other  loadable
modules from /stand/.., but it loads others, e.g.

 modstat | grep -v builtin
NAME                       CLASS    SOURCE   FLAG  REFS    SIZE REQUIRES
autofs                     vfs      filesys  -        0   12971 -
solaris                    misc     filesys  -        1   88706 -
zfs                        vfs      filesys  -        0  692648 solaris
