No can boot

Summary:  After an install and adding devices, I'm unable to boot.


In order to not make any accidents with my valuable data, I removed two
devices (geli/zfs) from the system.

I installed FreeBSD freshly on my drive to get the geli/zfs configuration I
desired.

Once the install was finished, I booted from the drive to make sure
everything worked. And so it did.

I then added the two devices again and booted. This was met with a prompt
 of "mountroot>"

and  was unable to boot.

How can I solve this? #freebsd mentioned using glabels but I'm unclear on
how this is done, and because I'm using geli/zfs no one is entirely sure
how.

Help appreciated.
