My experience with this problem leads me to believe that booting
with -a is not sufficient. What I have to do is boot from wd0 with fstab entries
for the partitions on wd0 changed from wd0 to wd2 when booting with
2 additional drives connected to an ide controller plugged into the pci bus.
Removing those drives requires changing the "wd2" in the fstab back to wd0
to make the wd0 partitions accessible again.

Although I know I can easily modify (or replace) fstab by booting with
/bsd.rd, the need to do this has stifled my desire to use the extra drives
which I need in order to have enough space on /usr to do anything with
the kernel.
