OK.  I did some more playing and I found something strange.
P3R-272 is my house server.  Amoung other things, I use it to "make 
buildworld" and "make buildkernel" for all of the machines I have. 
After the builds are done, I do the installs over the network.
This has been working until I ran into this situation.

Normally my /etc/make.conf reads:
$ more /etc/make.conf
# Local additions for P3R-272
CFLAGS= -O -pipe
COMPAT1X=       yes
COMPAT20=       yes
COMPAT21=       yes
COMPAT22=       yes
COMPAT3X=       yes
COMPAT4X=       yes
KERNCONF=P2A-018 P3R-272 GENERIC STARGATE
#LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT= YES
#MAKE_KERBEROS4=        yes
#ENABLE_SUID_K5SU= yes

# -- use.perl generated deltas -- #
# Created: Wed Sep  3 02:34:12 2003
# Setting to use base perl from ports:
PERL_VER=5.6.1
PERL_VERSION=5.6.1
PERL_ARCH=mach
NOPERL=yo
NO_PERL=yo
NO_PERL_WRAPPER=yo

$

Coded this way, I have the failure.
If I change the KERNCONF= value to
KERNCONF=P3R-272
#KERNCONF=P2A-018 P3R-272 GENERIC STARGATE
(In other words, compile the kernel for just this machine instead of all 
of them) The machine works normally.  e.g., xl0 and xl1 are located and 
the usb printer works!

P2A-018 is a copy of the "failing" P3R-272 kernel with these changes:
I changed the kernel name
I removed SMP support
I removed firewire and USB support
I added Xircom support.
I made these changes because this was going to be a kerberus sanbox on 
an old Toshiba Tecra 510CDT laptop.

I've been using a process similar to the one overviewed in the FBSD 
Handbook section 21.5.1.  Reviewing this section, I seem to have 
rediscovered "...and the build machine should list them all in KERNCONF, 
listing its own kernel first."

I do not know why this would make a difference but I'm going to change 
the order in /etc/make.conf and let the compile run overnight.  :-/
It's starting to look like I may have a lead on my problem.
Cheers...
