This is only to close this thread: Today morning I installed CURRENT
into /dev/ad2s1a (without problems) and I've found no way to re-use the
other old (RELENG_7) partition in the 2nd SSD /dev/ad3; I had to wipe
it out to make fdisk happy:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad3 count=2
# fdisk -I /dev/ad3
# newfs -m 0 -o space /dev/ad3s1a
# echo "/dev/ad3s1a  /usr/local  ufs  rw,noatime  1  1" >> /etc/fstab
# mount /usr/local
