Well, it would probably help avoid the confusion and terror I went
through today (8-)
I updated my boot blocks (last done a month ago) and the machine refused
to mount my root filesystem (on /dev/da0s2a) with "specified device does
not match mounted device".
The machine would load OK with /kernel at the boot prompt. After fiddling with
num_ide_disks and some RTSLing, I discovered root_disc_unit (8-)
set num_ide_disks=-1
set root_disk_unit=0 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
load /kernel
load -t userconfig_script /kernel.config
autoboot
Bliss!
