   Jul  6 20:01:13 rolery amd[168]: /net: mount: Operation not supported by device

Following up my own post, with the answer.  Amd can't start up a
potential NFS automount unless NFS is in the kernel.  Since I'm using
FreeBSD on a laptop, I have a stripped-down kernel without NFS.

When I first started playing with amd, I had earlier NFS-mounted another
directory and thus caused NFS to be auto-modloaded into the kernel.
When I rebooted, NFS was absent again, so amd errored as shown above;  I
guess whatever it does isn't sufficient to cause the auto-modload.

I built another kernel that included NFS and everything works now.
