pfSense Boot Config /etc/fstab

I had some issues installing pfSense with a USB drive on my hardware, so I just temporarily threw a disc drive into the machine for installation. Went through the setup, and I can boot from the hard drive partitions just fine. However, when I physically remove the disc drive, booting fails with a "root mount error."

 

From what I assume, removing the disc drive has changed the HDD device name to something else. How do I go about finding the new drive device name so I can vi the change into /etc/fstab?
