I added the following back into my kernel config:

+# Pseudo devices.
+device		mem		# Memory and kernel memory devices
+device		io		# I/O device

I already had this in the broken (now working with the 2 above lines added-in) 
kernel:

device		vga		# VGA video card driver

Everything is working, now. (Though mozilla still sometimes hogs the CPU and 
locks up X):
