From the boot prompt you should be able to specify the correct
root device. Try:
boot: /kernel -a
The problem is probably the breakage other people have described,
with sd0sNa turning into sd0a or da0a or something like that.

:Greetings,
:
: I have learned a very valuable lesson. No matter how many time I have
:made world, I shouldn't do it while I'm tired. Last night I synced my tree
:and made world. I rebooted, and was going to remake my kernel after the
:boot. That became an impossibility.
:
:After the the message "Waiting 15 seconds fopr SCSI devices to settle", and
:before the listing of my SCSI devices is this ominous message:
:
:ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvperror 6: panic: cannot mount root (2)
:
:At the end of the SCSI device listing, the system starts a reboot.
:
:Any help in either understanding what happened or getting the box back
:online appreciated!
