    Hi,

      Please use english.

      Try inserting the following in /boot/loader.conf:

       root_disk_unit=1

      From loader(8):

         root_disk_unit
                 If the code which detects the disk unit number for the root
                 disk is confused, eg. by a mix of SCSI and IDE disks, or IDE
                 disks with gaps in the sequence (eg. no primary slave), the
                 unit number can be forced by setting this variable.

      Alternatively you can try creating a file "boot.config" in the root
    filesystem containting:

       2:da(1,a)/kernel

      See boot(8).
