I'm installing FreeBSD on an Ultra 5.  I'm stuck at the "Creating the 
Root Fileystem" 
(http://people.freebsd.org/~bmah/relnotes/CURRENT/installation-
sparc64.html).

I've done the following:

disklabel -w -r ad0 auto
disklabel -e ad0 (I took the defaults, just to keep things simple)
shutdown -r now
boot -a -s

Now I'm at a mountroot> prompt and I don't know what to enter here. I 
don't understand the instructions provided.  "use a format like 
ufs:diskpartition, i.e. leave the slice specification out" tells me 
that "ufs:ad0" should work.  Or perhaps "ufs:ad0e".

Clues please?
