Then it reboots automatically. Try to hit a key when the system ask you at boot time, and then write "set root_disk_unit=2", then type boot and you are done, but dont forget to write the same into "/boot/loader.rc" file, in order to continue booting correctly your system. The way that The Complete FreeBSD book recommends, its for the old bootstrap. P.S. Nex time try a more descriptive subject, something like "panic: cannot mount root", and you will receive more help.
