The system *did* boot but (alas) the /dev/ads1a(f) slices were mounted. So, the system loaded the *old* root partitions (from the first drive). After googling and reading I think I need *boot0cfg* but I'm a bit scary to ruin my new boot (ad8) drive. So, what is the exact syntax to make my system not only boot from ad8, but also mount the /deb/ad8s1 slice as root slice? Hope to get some answers.
