Just mounting root, and nothing happens. System is responsive,
attaching/detaching USB keyboard generates messages, and hitting
alt+ctrl+del correctly reboots the system.
After messing around with fstab (added / entry, bit redundant with
loader.conf vfs.root.mountfrom entry) it started to working again, but
I can't repeat it now by removing this. Too bad I didn't take a
snapshot before fixing :(
Strange. :)
