My NFS server is NetBSD, but old enough that I don't trust it to be
completely compatible with 10.1.  So what I did was

On the server: clone dev to dev+
Boot client single-user
On the client: "cd /dev+" then "sh MAKEDEV all"
Halt the client
On the server: mv dev dev- and mv dev+ dev

I then brought the client back up (single-user) and everything appears
to be happy; it got to multi-user with no significant problems.

Thank you very much for that list!  There were two steps on it (certctl
and entropy) that I would have had no clue of, or at the very least
would have taken much longer to deal with, without your help.  And it
also helped greatly to have confidence that there wasn't anything else
that needed doing.
