Uhh...  What is (or, better yet, isn't) in your new kernel?  This looks 
like your kernel isn't recognizing your ATAPI disks...  I.E. there's no
driver in your kernel.  Boot kernel.old, RTFM /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT,
try again.

Specifically...  I've seen people misread LINT's comment:

        # You only need one "device ata" for it to find all
        # PCI ATA/ATAPI devices on modern machines.

Then go out and compile a kernel with only 'device ata' in it.  With no
'atadisk' line, ad* isn't detected, so...  no / for you.
