Ok, I cvsup'ed, 'make buildworld', 'make buildkernel', 'mergemaster -p',
'make installworld', 'make installkernel' and 'mergemaster'.  And ...
hrrm. It did not Go As Planned:

Blank list, naturally.

It's a good thing I have a serial-over-ethernet terminal server :-)

Any suggestions? This looks like a geom boot disk thing rather than a
64bTT thing, but what with the timing I thought I'd better explore all
scenarios.
