would i be right in guessing that you used to have the FreeBSD
system on IDE disk wd0 after which you transferred it over to
SCSI disk sd0 ?
is the system still booting off the IDE disk (if present) ?
to boot your system off the SCSI disk you should be able
to enter the following at the boot prompt :
0:sd(0,a)/kernel
(or whatever the name of your kernel is) which should set
the root device ok...
