Hi, Thanks for this very helpful hint! In fact it was "newfs". BTW I found an even more simple solution: Before booting the slave-system for the first time from harddisk I boot the box using the FreeBSD install-CD: Go through fdisk and label assign all your partitions a mount point and you're done - the box boots without any problems whatsoever.
