Does your /etc/fstab have character devices listed or block devices ? If it has character devices (aka raw devices), change them to block (remove the 'r' at the front) e.g. change: "/dev/rad0s2a" to "/dev/ad0s2a". It seems to be only necessary for the root filesystem. Some people (like me) changed their fstabs to raw devices after a message from Poul Henning-Kamp (I hope thats the spelling) saying that it should be possible to use only raw devices throughout the system. This worked for a while but then other changes made it unable to boot.
