The machine boots, but when it gets to the disk mounting part, here's
what I see:

Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
no such device 'ad'

ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp
Root mount failed: 6

Then I get taken to the mountroot> prompt.

Do you see your IDE controllers (ad devices) appear during the boot?

Are there any other messages related to the controllers that get displayed? I guess the, "no such device 'ad'", error is pretty self-explanatory it can't find your IDE controller.
