How to go about switching over from wd to ad needs to be explained a little
better. After doing the MAKEDEV routine I went and changed all the wd's in my
fstab to ad's. Boy was that a mistake. Now I have to find somthing I can boot
with that will let me mount the root partition read/write so that I can change
fstab back. On top of that my cdrom suddenly decided to non-bootable. Maybe I'm
just having a bad day...
