Hi Maikel,

Which version of FreeBSD are you using?  I believe both of these issues
have been fixed on HEAD and merged to stable/9 and stable/10.  9.3 and
10.1-RC would have these fixes.  9.2 and 10.0 would not.

This was fixed in r263277.  Incidentally, the error message here is
harmless and not associated with the primary issue you have described above=
.

The load on boot issue was fixed in r263310.
