Hello Adam Seniuk,

first you need to adjust the entries in /etc/fstab. Boot a rescue CD
(FreeBSD CD #2) and mount /dev/ad2s1a (or ad2s{2,3,4}a) on /mnt and
edit /mnt/etc/fstab.

If there are no disks ad0 and ad1 you must tell the BIOS to boot
drive E.

If there are disks ad0 and ad1 you might install the boot manager on
ad0 and ad1 with boot0cfg. This allows you to jump via ad0 and ad1
to ad2 during boot. But depending what the MBRs of ad0 and ad1
already contain (other boot managers?) this may not be what you
want.

You are a website administrator?
Maybe you have write access on a web server?
Why not put these 9 lines on a web page and put the single URL here
instead?
