In this case, I would take a different approach. Here, I would boot with
-kd, and basically the goal is to try and find the last instruction you
can execute. One trick would be to set the moddebug variable to
0xf0000001, which when you get to the prompt can be done by running:

> moddebug/W 0xf0000001

That will cause the system to have a break point on every module loading
entry and exit point. There, I'd do one pass that determines what the
last breakpoint you hit is, and use ':c' each time to continue to the
next. Next, I would take another lap and basically single step until you
find what the last instruction you can single step over is. From there,
we can figure out what the next steps are.

An alternative path is to determine if your laptop has some means of
injecting a non-maskable interrupt.

It's certainly not the design center, which is that of a headless server
in a datacenter, eg. if you're looking for X11, it's going to be quite
painful and not really part of the design center.
