 You need a fixit floppy, and try to recreate the dead /dev/rwd0a.  You
 can find an image for a sample fixit floppy in the directory floppies/
 on the CD-ROM.
 
 Backups are certainly also valuable in your situation.
 
 (Better direct this kind of questions to questions@freebsd.org, it's
 not strictly a problem report.)
