Swapped disks and now stuck in the mountroot> prompt

Hi,
I've installed FreeBSD 4.9 via FTP on my T22-laptop
while having the hard disk as my first disk on it
and then I had to put that disk into the ultrabay
and thus have made it the second disk.
I know, that all I have to do is probably to edit
the /etc/fstab but I can't get there - I'm stuck
at the mountroot> prompt. I've tried all the possible
combinations including the one which I'd expected
to be correct: "ufs:/dev/ad2s1a" but they all fail
with "Root mount failed: 22".
The "?" at the mountroot> prompt does show "ad" device.
And the lines in the grub/conf on the 1st hard drive
which I use to load that 2nd hard drive look like:
title FreeBSD
root (hd1,0,a)
kernel /boot/loader
title OpenBSD
root (hd1,1,a)
chainloader +1
(The OpenBSD has worked already - I had booted /bsd.rd,
mounted the / and edited the /etc/fstab).
I couldn't find the answer in the Handbook or on Google
yet... Any help? Thank you
Alex
