I am a bit fuzzy on the precise details of this. The problem is with
compatibilty slice naming and mount. Some changes have been made and I am
not sure that I am fully up to snuff yet.

YMMV!!!

Try 
'boot -s'
'fsck /dev/wd0a' or 'fsck /dev/wd0s1a'to make sure it's clean
'mount /dev/wd0a /' or 'mount /dev/wd0s1a /'
'mount -u /'
mount your /usr partition
'vi /etc/fstab'
change your root partition to wd0a instead os wd0s1a

I just did this ten minutes ago. Something seems fishy about the whole
thing but it is working for me.
