You say that you're trying to reinstall. I've noticed that the 
miniroot kernel will, in certain configurations, want to use an existing 
partition as its root. So you should try adding "b" to your "-ASn0" so 
that it asks for the root, and enter wd0b or sd0b or whatever would 
correspond to your swap partition when it prompts for the root.
