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


What is that for??

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


And what is this for?

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


Doesn't help either...

| 
| 
| 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.

Yes.... change the entries from /dev/ad0 to /dev/ad1, save, mount both
disks and reboot.
