I got back in business by realizing that I could mount up /dev/sd1s1a as well as /dev/sd1a (which was up as "root_device"). mount -f /dev/sd1s1a /mnt brought up the root partition and then I could edit the fstab and rc.conf files to boot the system up nice. Just for good measure I recompiled a kernel wit the root device on sd1, as it should be.
