Assuming I understood you correctly, I added experimental to sources and
installed kernel 4.9~rc5-1~exp1. Upon reboot it dropped me into BusyBox
and initramfs prompt. Probably going to turn it off and start from
scratch tomorrow. I'll figure out how to compile the 4.8.11 after I get
a clean install using the snapshot as a starting point.
