	Hmmm, the installation never did use the root.flp but only the 
boot.flp.

	I don't know but I remember someone reporting the same problem.  
In the disklabel thing, it put wd0s0 before the other FreeBSD slices so 
that's what happened in /etc/fstab
It wouldn't put the / before the dos which is mounted as /usr/dos1
in /etc/fstab... so like what happened was it put the dos slice right 
before the /, swap, /usr partitions so I had to edit the /etc/fstab and 
put the dos partition after /usr before it will mount correctly...
