First, from your other question - booting from DOS, see the dosboot(8) 
manpage. You can compile it from /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/stand/dosboot

The kernel is happy to have root on any one of a variety of filesystems.

Can you post the dmesg lines related to your modem? Is it getting a com
port assigned, or not? What brand/model is it?
