Here's what I did: Edited the file /boot/loader.conf I added these two lines rootdev="disk1s2a" root_disk_unit="0" The first one says to use the second partition, slice a of the first disk in the system. The second line defines the number of the first disk. To everyone who posted their advice, many thanks, it sure helped find an obscure webpage with a solution.
