This seems to be discouraged today. Instead svn should be used.

Are you sure this isn't the "mountroot>" prompt? It indicates
that the / partition cannot be mounted to continue booting.
Maybe you can interrupt at the boot loader and examine the
mount source for /, or manually set it to be ada0p1?

That's why _I_ prefer old-fashioned MBR partitioning with
sysinstall which has never failed me. :-)
