If you google the archives at FreeBSD, you'll find that this is a
PITA, assuming it's possible at all. No particular reason for it, just
not something anyone has ever wanted to do. Someone may have fixed
this since the last time I saw it discussed, but I wouldn't bet on it.

So the fix is to boot on the fixit CDROM, fire up bsdlabel on your
disk, and change the "e" to an "a", and boot off the a partition.
