All went fine till I tried = to reboot the system. It gets to mountroot and dies trying to mount = from ufs:/dev/ada0p2. That won't work. If I enter ufs:/dev/ada0s1a = then the system boots fine and runs. I need to alter mountroot so it = tries the right partition/slice. How do I do that? I couldn't find = anything in the handbook on that.=
