Thanks.  I pulled the bootonly ISO.  I then used
a mdconfig /dev/md4 to mount the ISO image and
copied /cdrom/boot/kernel/* to my /boot/sgk/*.

I was able to boot the kernel.  sysctl -a reports

kern.osrelease: 6.0-CURRENT-SNAP004
kern.osrevision: 199506
kern.version: FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT-SNAP004 #0: Wed Jun  1 20:05:46 UTC 2005

kern.osreldate: 600029
kern.bootfile: /boot/sgk/kernel
