Following Adam's suggestion, I have now gotten to the point where I 
rebooted into Single-User Mode, entered the /usr/src directory and then 
entered the command:
make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL

But it almost immediately comes back with errors about the fact that 
certain directories don't exist and problems with the fact that the 
file system is read only.

Perhaps I entered Single User Mode wrong?  On a reboot, I chose not to 
boot into any system, but to go directly to the loader prompt 
(something like that). Then I entered the command: boot -s
