Cannot run uname -a without fixit shell
>Description:
The Fixit mode, when from booting 8.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick, does not work.

It boots fine, and sysinstall comes up.

When you go to the Fixit/USB option, you get the error message: "No USB
devices found!".

When I do Fixit/Shell and switch to tty3 I type:

find /dev/ -name "da0*"

and get:

/dev/da0
/dev/da0a 

I've checked the hash of the image file, and I've tried with two different
flash drives.
>How-To-Repeat:
- Boot from 8.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick image.
- Wait for sysinstall to load
- Go to Fixit/USB
- Wait for error message

 As per a thread on -questions, there is a workaround to get the 
 fixit shell to work.
 
 Go to Options, in the right column, there is an option to Re-scan 
 devices.  I did this, and sysinstall was able to recognize the 
 media after that.

 A tip for ZFS users:
 
 - like some other users, the "Re-scan devices" trick didn't help for me
 - I insisted on this problem just because Fixit kicked just fine on the
 virgin system, and stopped working (same image) after it was installed
 - a clue in my case was the appearance of a stray "Open_Disk(" in the
 first curses screen (Country Selection) of sysinstall
 - the USB drive was actually detected as da0
 
 Based on this, if you interrupt loader, enter its CLI, and pre-load the ZFS
 modules, the "Open_Disk(" string will disappear and you'll get back Fixit:
 
 OK load /boot/kernel/opensolaris.ko
 OK load /boot/kernel/zfs.ko
 OK boot
 
 I could not figure out why sysinstall is confused by the presence of the
 ZFS drive (which is ad6, or ada0 if ahci would be loaded).
