What am I doing wrong and how can I get > this to work reliably? This is a known bug in 3.1. Read http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.1R/errata.html. In the meantime, hit a key at the kernel countdown and type 'boot -c' -- this will get you backto the boot-time configuration so you can re-tweak your settings. Then follow the errata instructions and you should be good.
