As was mentioned else-thread, you are probably hitting problems due to
the name change from ad(4) to ada(4) for PATA/SATA disk devices.
It's starting to make sense now.. Mounting ufs:/dev/ad*a*2s1a i.o. from
ufs:/dev/ad2s1a simply doesn't work because as I've put in my original
post with # ls -l /dev/ad* it doesn't exist.. Only ad2,ad2s1& ad2s1a
do..
One way to fix this is simply to type in the new boot device in the
loader and then edit /etc/fstab from single user mode
Which boot device..? I wish it was simple..
When you get to the loader, escape to the loader prompt. Then type
lsdev to see what the loader finds. You'll have to find which one
looks right, and type that into the mount failed prompt. After it's
done booting, check /dev to make sure it looks right and change your
fstab.
From a theoretical point of view (I'll have to consider this for my own
needs in the near future) I'd say the labeling option mentioned by
Warren would be better for the long term. It may seem a little
complicated to setup but it will work just about anywhere.
If you continue with devices as you are at the moment you run the risk
of having this trouble every time something changes.
My 2c.
