Still no go on getting sshd to start.  A few things have gotten better though..

Both /etc/rc and /etc/defaults/rc.conf were missing.  Copying these
from host to tinybsd_ap helped.

init right now looks like:

Can anyone see why the /var/log and /var/run errors are occuring
inspite of files existing and writable?
