>Description:
I have FreeBSD on a partition on my second IDE drive on my system - 
it cannot mount root changing root device to wd1a (which I believe
is the correct device...) -- I have a 1mb freebsd partition on the
first IDE drive of my system just so I can get the boot dialogue (no
room for other partitions on that drive...) 
>How-To-Repeat:
Install FreeBSD to a second (BIOS) physical drive.
>Fix:
none.
