I was able to copy over a GENERIC head/r280342 kernel from my build machine to the laptop; that booted, and I was then able to do a source "upgrade" on the laptop: FreeBSD g1-254.catwhisker.org 11.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #1546 r280342M/280343:1100066: Sun Mar 22 10:45:54 PDT 2015 root_at_g1-254.catwhisker.org:/common/S4/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY i386 So I should be able to resume daily tracking of head on my laptop. :-) (I also reviewed my kernel config file; it turns out that all of the sound-related stuff had been commented out, so I removed all of those lines: all other things being equal, I prefer "simpler.")
