You can interrupt the bootloader counter and type "boot -a" (see man boot(8)
for details) so the kernel will prompt you foor the root and swap locations.

Then you should either hardcode those in your kernel configuration file and
rebuild your kernel, or (preferred). fix your disklabel and partition layout.
