You must have missed the large warning about how 2.2.6 will blow up if it
finds compatibility slice entries in /etc/fstab.  Fix /etc/fstab to refer
to the explicit slice your A partition is on, then it should work.

You should execute this command if you are running -stable:

echo "subscribe freebsd-stable" | sendmail majordomo@freebsd.org

Oh, wow, they're all broken.  Rewire these to point to /dev/sd0s1? there ?
is the partition letter.

This is the only one that's right :)
