Ian:

I updated my other desktop PC's (Intel Atom D510 and Dell AMD Sempron)
and received the same black screen, not responsive, no log events just
like my laptop with CURRENT r346885 and the DRM kmod update from ports.
 The only computer that had success was my Intel i5 Skylake.  I did not
try updating my other laptop since r346885 had issues on three
computers.  Recovery also required a BEADM rollback to the last
successful snapshot.
