Can you capture some of the output? Disk configuration? It sounds like the system's just gotten confused about where the system is, or someone ran '/dev/MAKEDEV all' and throughly spammed the slice entries. If /dev went away, it's very, very difficult to fix. You have to copy the /dev tree off the CD, then rewire MAKEDEV to save to the correct /dev, in the meantime hoping you can mount the partition read/write. If you can show us some of the errors you're gtting I can give more specific instructions.
