Subject:   replaced kernel - now won't mount /

Ok, I had a running setup of FreeBSD 4.2.  I recompiled a kernel, and
instead of the last step of doing the 'make install', I copied the
kernel to /kernel, moving my old kernel to /kernel.old.. Now, when I
boot, it takes the new kernel, and says:
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
and stops there..
If I do a boot -v, I get one more line, something like:
Attempting to start: /sbin/init

and that's it.  /sbin/init is there, not corrupted, and has the correct
permissions.  I even tried booting with the old kernel, same thing. 
What did I mess up?  How can I fix it? Any ideas?

Eric
