I've recently been trying to bring a system of mine (4.7-R) up-to-date

everything up through 'make installkernel' and the 'make install' from
/usr/src/sys/boot has gone fine; I reboot into loader(8) and 'boot -s',
but literally just after printing its I just loaded acpi.ko message the
system just hangs at a twiddle-prompt, forever stilled. Well, not quite:
the keyboard lights blink once and the hard drives click, but no further
response. This isn't an ACPI problem; I've unset acpi_load, and the only
difference is that the system spins for half a second longer before dying.
loader claims to have preloaded the (new) kernel already.

# Pseudo devices - the number indicates how many units to allocate.device
random # Entropy device
This looks funny. What happens if you load the random device?
Ack, sorry. That's a snipping artifact; the actual conf file has these
as two separate lines, and random.ko is in fact present in /boot/kernel/.
