Subject:   9.1 won't install - GEOM/GRAID issues

My FreeBSD server had been running fine, no issues.   This evening I
tried to update it to 9.1.  I don't "update in place", I update by
wiping the prior version and letting the new version have its way with
the disk.

Well, 9.1 has issues with my system (dmesg is at the end of this
message).

When I boot from the install DVD, I see a lot of messages along the
lines of ~Root mount waiting for GRAID~, then eventually that times out
and I am allowed to select the Install option.   However, when I get to
the partitioning (btw, it's another issue, but the new set of screens
to partition the drive really suck.  I've never been so confused by a
FreeBSD install.   But I digress...)   I eventually selected "auto"
partitioning.  Then I am greeted with a pop up that informs me that
ada0 is not valid for some unmentioned reason.   (did I mention that
the new partitioning screens suck?).

At this point I give up, and I am now in the process of re-installing
9.0.

I'm not a long-time user of FreeBSD, I've only been using it since
2005, with installs to keep it up to date through the varied and sundry
versions.   But this is The First Time that a FreeBSD install has
failed.  

What's goin' on?  



Here's the 9.0 dmesg I promised earlier (ada0 seems to be the drive
that confuses the install):
