Today's fix for the root device problem while booting has
blown me out of the water.

I have an EDI disk and a scsi disk on my 3,0-stable system.
When I attempt to boot, I get:
changing root device to da1s2a
changing root device to da1a

Then the system panics.
My root partition is da0s2a.

I would appreciate an idea or two as to how I could get this system to boot
so that I can apply the eventual fix. I am in much worse shape than I was.

Regards,
Tom
