after this i need to tell it where to find the filesystem
so, like in the previous messages,

mountroot> ufs:/dev/ad4s1a

> fsck -p

when i try this, i get the following:

Can't open /dev/ad0s1a: Device not configured
/dev/ad0s1a: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM.
/dev/ad0s1a: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.

in past i've tried to run fsck on ad4s1a, but it gave the error:

Can't stat /dev/ad4s1a: No such file of directory
