On any sort of -current system, the loader ignores this and uses the
contents of /etc/fstab instead.
I still haven't seen the plaintiff actually bother to transcribe the few
relevant lines out of his startup log, so I'm not too highly motivated to
worry about this in return, however ENXIO definitively means "the device
you're trying to mount as root was not probed". Since it works with
'wd', and the 'ad' driver registers a 'wd' device as well, the actual
options for dysfunction are pretty small.
If and when more information is forthcoming, a diagnosis will be trivial.
