If you don't actually have the ad* device nodes, you're in for some pain. I think you're going to have to boot off floppy and use the fixit floppy, mount your root partition and create the appropriate /mnt_point/dev/ad* device nodes with MAKEDEV. Don't forget that MAKEDEV doesn't make slices (e.g. ad0s1a) automatically, so make sure you've got everything you need before trying to reboot. Of course, if you have all the device nodes, then it's just a simple case of editing /etc/fstab once you've loaded the fixit floppy and mounted your root partition writable. Ciao, Sheldon.
