Not really.  0 is sd0, 3 is cd0, 4 is cd1, 5 is sd1 and 6 is sd2.

So, try fsck'ing /dev/rsd2a.

There was a bug in earlier versions of the installer that incorrectly 
counted CDs as sd devices (like you did) and then erroneously built the 
wrong set of things in /dev.  If that's the case, you can use 
/etc/MAKEDEV (I _think_ it's all caps!) to build the right stuff.
