My FreeBSD is installed to my second IDE drive (on primary IDE controller).

WHen it tries to boot I get the message

Changing root device to wd0s2a
Err22  Panic  Can't mount root.

I've found the soultion in your FAQ

At the Boot: prompt, enter 1:wd(2,a)kernel .............


Just one little question :-)  

HOW DO I GET TO THE BOOT PROMPT?

many thanks

Phil
