I'm at a loss here -

My shiny new 5501 arrived today, along with the SATA mounting kit and
a small SSD drive. Knowing that the 5501 doesn't support USB boot, I
connected the SSD to another system, and installed 2.0.1 to it using
the memstick image. I chose the embedded kernel.

After connecting the SSD to the 5501, the bootloader started just
fine, and it loaded the kernel, but failed when trying to mount the
root partition.

A full transcript of the boot process is here:

You can see on line 161 that the SSD was detected as device ad1, and
the system was trying to mount root from /dev/ad4s1a. Problem.

So, at the mountroot> prompt, I assumed I could just type
"ufs:/dev/ad1s1a". That didn't work, and gave the same error message.

>From the loader prompt, here's the device list:

OK lsdev
cd devices:
disk devices:
    disk0:   BIOS drive C:
        disk0s1a: FFS
        disk0s1b: swap
pxe devices:
zfs devices:

Any pointers?

Thank you!
