Following switching the default installer away from sysinstall, make 
release works differently now (see release(7), which has been updated to 
reflect the new release-building process). The closest analog to the 
command above (though you may want to do something different) is:
cd /usr/src/release
./generate-release.sh head /usr/home/current
