Yeah sysupgrade is pulling from the latest 11.0 on nycdn.netbsd.org and
I'm running 'sysupgrade {modules,kernel}' before manually copying the
kernel to /etc/cgd/.  Unfortunately I can't really dump the entire dmesg
here since it's a VM and I don't see a way to grab the console text.

Yes, sysupgrade really only handles vannila updates, ie. it won't move
/netbsd into /etc/cgd/ ; all the cgd stuff has to be updated manually
as I have shown in my original post.  Basically for just in-version updates 
I've found I can update the kernel and occasionally cgdroot.kmod. In this
case, 10.1 -> 11.0, I've updated boot as well as the kern.module.path seems 
to get set by boot. 
 
For reference, this is what I used for the initial VM setup:
