Following Adam's suggestion, I have now gotten to the point where I
rebooted into Single-User Mode, entered the /usr/src directory and then
entered the command:
make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
But it almost immediately comes back with errors about the fact that
certain directories don't exist and problems with the fact that the
file system is read only.
Perhaps I entered Single User Mode wrong? On a reboot, I chose not to
boot into any system, but to go directly to the loader prompt
(something like that). Then I entered the command: boot -s
