BTW, as for my 2nd machine, FreeBSD keeps trying to mount sd1a as root,
rather than sd0s1 (or sd0a) where it should be. I cannot figure out
what's wrong there since I didn't remember changing such kind of
parameters. Is there any way to change the root device during the boot ?
('-a' doesn't work for the bootstrap codes.)
