His problem is pilot error -- he has probably booted from a Tru64 disk (or NetBSD, or OpenBSD, or Linux using BSD disklabels, etc). This can happen with the new bootstrap glue from Mike Smith which obtains the location of / from /etc/fstab. He needs to fix this by breaking into the boot loader & setting vfs.root.mountfrom to the appropriate disk. Somethine like ok set vfs.root.mountfrom=da1 is probably what he needs. I'm not terribly confident the syntax is correct.
