 Can you retest on 9.x or HEAD?  I tried this on my test machine running
 HEAD as of July 2012, and it functions as expected: I get a mountroot
 prompt, enter my desired root fs ufs:/dev/gpt/root, and it boots up fine.
 
 I tested with the newcons branch as well, which displays an image during
 boot, and does not switch back to display the mountroot prompt.
