I installed FreeBSD 2.1.6 on the second drive in my machine (at the time
it was called wd1), but now I moved it to wd2 and my CDROM to wd1.  It now
sees the CDROM, but how do I change it so that when I boot up, it tries
to mount root from wd2a, instead of wd1a.  It panics when it tries to mount
wd1a.  I can at the boot: prompt type  '1:wd(2,a)/kernel' but I would like
not to have to do that if possible.

Thanks
