Compiles and runs without any problems on a six year old HP G60,
although I initially had kldxref errors running "make packages" right
after "make buildkernel" (i.e. kldxref: unknown metadata record 4 in
file atacard.ko). Worked fine after running canonical build and install
of world and kernel, then "make packages".

As an simple test, "pkg remove FreeBSD-vi" works as well as "pkg install
FreebSD-vi".
Haven't tried "pkg remove FreeBSD-*" yet :)
