I would add three points:

 1)	run postinstall(8) pointing it at the extracted etc/xetc sets
	and /, e.g. I typically do:
		postinstall -s /tmp/etc -x /tmp/etc -d / check
	when I have extracted the etc and xetc sets in /tmp/etc/.
	When it complains, run the command it suggest to fix things.

 2)	cd /dev && sh MAKEDEV all

 3)	certctl rehash

... where (3) is actually redundant nowadays as (1) is supposed to deal
with it.
