>Description:
The journal of my root filesystem became corrupt for some reason, leaving me
with no sane recovery method:
boot device: wd0
root on wd0a dumps on wd0b
Unrecognized wapbl type: 0x08012180
no file system for wd0 (dev 0x0)
cannot mount root, error = 79
root device (default wd0a): ddb
I had to use ddb to trick the kernel into mounting the root fs without the
FS_DOWAPBL flag, after which I could run fsck(8) to recover.
I think we should allow mounting "/" read-only, even if log replay fails.
