Cannot run uname -a without fixit shell
>Description:
The Fixit mode, when from booting 8.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick, does not work.

It boots fine, and sysinstall comes up.

When you go to the Fixit/USB option, you get the error message: "No USB devices found!".

When I do Fixit/Shell and switch to tty3 I type:

find /dev/ -name "da0*"

and get:

/dev/da0
/dev/da0a 

I've checked the hash of the image file, and I've tried with two different flash drives.
>How-To-Repeat:
- Boot from 8.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick image.
- Wait for sysinstall to load
- Go to Fixit/USB
- Wait for error message
