I had this same problem, and found an easy solution. First, decide what unit number your root partition is on. For me it is 0 (i.e. root is on da0s1a). Then, create a /boot/loader.rc file with the following line: set root_disk_unit=<unit number> Then, you'll be set. If you can't boot at all, hit Space bar at the waiting to boot message, and type: set root_disk_unit=<unit number> boot You should get going then.
