Error 19: failed to mount

Hi!
I have said my problem twice in other people's topics. No solution. I made a USB install media and then installed FreeBSD on 15GB SD memory card. But booting stalls at
Code: 
mountroot>
and I have to turn my laptop off. This is the solution from the Handbook:

Other problems that cause error 19 require more effort to fix. Enter ufs:/dev/ada0s1a at the boot loader prompt. Although the system should boot from ada0 , another prompt to select a shell appears because /etc/fstab is incorrect. Press the Enter key at the prompt. Undo the modifications so far by reverting /etc/fstab, mounting filesystems from the original disk (ada0) instead of the mirror. Reboot the system and try the procedure again.
Code: 
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:
# cp /etc/fstab.orig /etc/fstab
# reboot
Click to expand...

For me the path is: /dev/da1p2. May someone kindly explain what to do? I mean commands in order. I used the guided partitioning with 64KB/14GB/673MB for boot/root/swap respectively.

Thanks in advance.
 
The 'problem' with USB installs is that the drive number can change. The trick is to use labels instead of devices.
 
Wow! This can be right. Because I had two USB while installing. But for boot I have only one (SD memory). How to introduce the SD memory as the "same" device to laptop? Or how can I label it and make the laptop recognize it?
 
Labelling didn't work or I didn't know the right job to do.
But the answer was in front of my eyes.
ufs:/dev/da0p2
and it mounts the root and I can login.
I know I have to change some configuration, but how?
Still have many problem to setup my own FreeBSD.
Now working on the wifi connection.
