And you're certain you've removed the CDROM & floppies?

Yes, boot verbosely (boot -fl v from SRM, or boot -v from the boot
loader), then scroll up & see what start_init() is saying about the
init path.  You might see something like:

init: not found in path /sbin/init

Also, report what it says about where it is mounting root from.  It
will be something like:
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da1a

Cheers,

Drew

PS: In syscons, you can scroll up by toggling scroll lock & using pgup/pgdown.
