I'm guessing that your machine is confused about the partition type
being apple ufs or not.  Useful debugging information would be pdisk
output, the ofw command you used to boot the machine, dmesg/console
output, your /etc/fstab and what partition you think it is using for
root.

A version of pdisk for 1.6 can be found at:
