Thank you.  That solves my problem even though it seems more like
a workaround than an actual solution.  But I'll take it.  :-)

Also, someone responded asking if I had a valid entry in /etc/fstab
for the root filesystem.

foo# cat /etc/fstab
# Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    
Pass#
/dev/da0s1a          /                          ufs     rw              1    
    1
/dev/da0s1b         none                   swap    sw              0       0
/dev/da1s1d         /local                  ufs     rw              2

/dev/cd0                /cdrom              cd9660  ro,noauto       0
