Rebooting to bsd.rd is not actually necessary, the kernel will mount /
even if /etc/fstab doesn't match. (After all, the kernel can't read
/etc/fstab until / is mounted... but it doesn't need write access at
first.)
Which is not to say that rc will not complain when it tries to mount a
wrong disk on / in read-write mode - in fact, that's exactly what
happens above.
