You should really boot from /dev/wd0a (i.e., don't type anything at
the Boot: prompt). If /dev/wd0c (the entire first FreeBSD slice of
disk wd0) is really your intention, you need to fixup your /etc/fstab,
but i doubt that's what you want.
p.s.: Please don't crosspost to install@freebsd.org, this list is
intended for discussion/development of the installation tools, not for
user questions. (The list is actually quite dead, and should probably
be killed anyway.)
