I tested distribution and it appears not to need it.

P.S. I didn't think this feature even existed yet, but apparently it
has since January.  Thanks brooks.

That looks better.  Thanks, I hope this change will be committed.

I don't really know if I need "make distribution ..." in my case.

Attempt to boot and I'll find out.

I also intend to build for i386 onto a separate partition, booting from 16 GB USB 2.0 stick with FreeBSD 9.1-stable.

Then I intend to "make distribution ..." after the other steps.
