try in single usermode
mount /
if that fails
fsck -p /
then try again
mount /

IF all that fails... assuming you still have /kernel.GENERIC available to
boot from, you might try that.

When it says push enter to boot immediately, hit any other key.
then type
boot /kernel.GENERIC

Hope that helps...


If all this fails, temporarily take the other drive out, put the FreeBSD
back where it was, boot up.... edit/save the /etc/fstab file, then put
both drives back in and you might get lucky.
