      I recently bought a Soekris net5501-70 board.  Installed PFsense to a 8G cf card using VMware because nano sucks (package installs is mainly the problem).  I keep getting this error when I boot and all I want to do is change the location that pf thinks it is booting from.

      Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a

      Manual root filesystem specification:
        <fstype>:<device>  Mount <device>using filesystem <fstype>eg. ufs:da0s1a
        ?                  List valid disk boot devices
        <empty line="">      Abort manual input

      mountroot> ufs:ad0s1a
      Trying to mount root from ufs:ad0s1a

        Have you edited /etc/fstab to fix the default entry?

        I can break anything.
