Daniel,

Earlier I did the following:

Make buildworld
Make buildkernel
Make installkernel

Then I rebooted.  After the reboot same issues.  Is there something more I
should do?  I really appreciate any help.

Jim

Have you rebuilt the world without rebuilding the kernel? Running a
different version of world vs kernel will cause similar problems to
what you're experiencing (but generally on a more broader scale)....
