Is the FAQ == the online handbook?  Could you refresher me with a URL?

The problem is I have the following result from typing "mount:"
/dev/ad0s1 on /msdos (msdos, local)
/dev/ad0s2a on / (ufs, local)

Is it possible to boot to 4.5-RELEASE floppies, start a fixit holographic
shell (aggravation city, frustration state, 01010) and do a similar FreeBSD
fdisk or mbr command?  Thanks for your continued help on this issue,
