It seems that LiveFS is now included in bootonly ISO, so I made another 
attempt using FreeBSD-9.0-CURRENT-201105-i386-bootonly.iso image. I 
tried importing with debugging enabled, but dmesg output was the same as 
in my previous message.

I had so much faith in raidz + snapshots, that I have absolutely no 
backups of this system :( I don't care about time which is needed to 
find a problem and possible fix, but I am really worried about my data 
now. What else could I do?
And yes, I know that I shouldn't treat CURRENT as a stable and reliable 
system, and you never have too much backups. I just didn't realized how 
important data on this machine is until I realized that maybe I just 
lost it... Crap.
