I tried the following this morning:

# chroot /usr/release bin/sh
# mount -t devfs devfs /dev
# cd /usr/src/release
# make release.8

It got as far as disklabel, where it died with "inappropriate ioctl
for device" and rebooted. Unfortunately, I didn't see the panic
message since I was in X, and for some mysterious reason there was no
dump, though I did have a dump device configured.
