Any help / > articles on this matter would be appreciated. If ye are just using the on board ide, check to see if ye have it hooked up the same as it previously was. If that does not work then just enter the / partion manually and proccded to edit fstab. Iirc, the default for / is s1a if freebsd is the only thing on that drive. Thus ye could just go thought trying that with various devices such as /dev/ad0, /dev/ad1 and ect... or try looking to see what drives up when it is booting...
