I'll try make upgrade. I think I might still be missing some bits. The
kernel boots and probes everything, mounts root partition (I assume
successfully), then it says "loading configuration files" and stops.
I already had to add MAKEDEV & MAKEDEV.local to /dev and run MAKEDEV, and
also run cap_mkdb on login.conf and pwd_mkdb on the passwd file. make
upgrade might fix something that I'm missing.

Sounds smart. Since I was feeling paranoid, I shutdown into single-user and
remounted my "host" / and /usr readonly. If I were doing this over and over
I would definitely prefer to script it.
