Since windows refuses to install and boot on anything but the primary drive (wd0s1) I had to move my old disk, the bsd disk to slave wd1s1. Before shutting down I changed the devices in fstab to match the new disk and made the devices. However when I tried to boot back into bsd it refused to find my / partition, still trying to mount /dev/wd0s1a. Is there something else that I have to change in order to switch the / partition's device?
