Description Alex 2008-11-24 22:20:02 UTC 
when 8-CURRENT tries to mount a rootdev that doesn't exist or isn't valid
(no init) it panics. this isn't very userfriendly! you might consider using
the code that is being executed when you boot with the -a switch in this case.

cheers.

Sounds like this could be in the filesystem code.
