Uhh... What is (or, better yet, isn't) in your new kernel? This looks
like your kernel isn't recognizing your ATAPI disks... I.E. there's no
driver in your kernel. Boot kernel.old, RTFM /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT,
try again.
Specifically... I've seen people misread LINT's comment:
# You only need one "device ata" for it to find all
# PCI ATA/ATAPI devices on modern machines.
Then go out and compile a kernel with only 'device ata' in it. With no
'atadisk' line, ad* isn't detected, so... no / for you.
