Well, I attempted using single user mode which did not work. It still  
mounts read-only and I cannot use mount -rw /. I get the following  
message:

mount: /: unknown special file or file system

I also tried checking the box to ask for partitions manually. I tried  
using this with and without single user mode and I specified sd0a as  
root and sd0b as swap with sd0a as type generic (which is the  
default) as well as ffs. All attempts ended with the same result above.
