Thanks, that's useful info!
I did this:

make -DDB_FROM_SRC -DNO_ROOT installkernel DESTDIR=/tmp/test4
make -DDB_FROM_SRC -DNO_ROOT installworld DESTDIR=/tmp/test4
make -DDB_FROM_SRC -DNO_ROOT distribution DESTDIR=/tmp/test4

/tmp/test4/METALOG was created, but it did not seem to have
/boot/kernel/kernel or
any kernel modules.  Is that expected?
