But, actually it claimed that no controller detected and asked me to
specify the root filesystem manually, which wrote:

Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
Manul root filesystem specification:
  <fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
                                     eg. ufs:da0s1a
  ?                              List valid disk boot devices
  <empty line>           Abort manual input

I tried ufs:/dev/ad0s1a, which was the real root filesystem registered
in my /etc/fstab, but it still could not be mounted. And the same
direction came out again to asked me to point out the root fs.

I tried '?' also, but it seems that no disk devices were found... The
kernel told me "List of GEOM managed disk devices:", and nothing but the
same old direction followed.
