I hope this is an easy one for somebody out there.

I had a single drive IDE system and recently added another so that I could
dual boot. However, due to requirements in a certain "other OS" the new
drive had to be the primary master. Thus when FreeBSD boots up now, it
freaks out because its partitions are not where they're supposed to be
(ad0s1 is now ad1s1, etc.) . Fortunately, it's able to locate the root
partition and go into single user mode. However, I can't update my
/etc/fstab because it won't let me re-mount root in read-write mode.

Anybody have any suggestions?
