Colin, would I be able to build an updated RELEASE in the AMI maker before I=
 call mkami? In the days of 11.1 I had to recompile the kernel to use your p=
atch (many thanks!) and so I did something like this:

$ svnlite --non-interactive --trust-server-cert-failures=3Dunknown-ca co htt=
ps://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/11.1/ /usr/src/
$ make DESTDIR=3D/mnt kernel -j16

I am not sure what magic is being done by the AMI maker itself to /mnt. I wo=
nder if I could use this approach to build the kernel using the latest patch=
ed release of ARM, at least until it moves to Tier 1. Would I need to build t=
he userland, too? Or are the security patches installed by freebsd-update on=
ly affecting the kernel?

Thanks for your help, as always.
Rafal
