I've installed FreeBSD 2.2-960801-SNAP on a machine which previously ran
FreeBSD without error.  Now that I've reinstalled, and changed the boot
drive, I'm at a loss.

When booting off of /dev/wd1, the boot process stops right after the first
prompt, and scrolls this error repeatedly up the screen.  If I enter
"wd(1,a)kernel" at the first prompt, the machine boots perfectly.

Did I make a mistake in the installation process, or is this a bug?  I
know the mailing lists are full of questions such as these, but I can't
find an answer browsing the lists, or through the FAQ/Handbook combo.

Ideas appreciated.
