When this discussion began, it was not possible to recover from this
error, short of booting a nonGEOM kernel. phk has fixed the -a code,
which is what the kernel uses when it can't find the device specified
in the fstab. At least you'd be able to get to single user and fix
fstab now.
So even if people had these, they would be able to fix them when they
went old kernel -> new kernel (or back out to old kernel and fix them
in multi-user).
