 The cause is r251973 which MFC'ed r251175:

 To prevent people running into the same issue as you, I think the kernel
 needs to make compat /dev/ad* device entries so it does not trip people
 up like this.  In the meantime you can update your fstab before
 rebooting to use /dev/ada*, which ideally people should do anyway.  This
 is probably deserving an entry in UPDATING too, either way.
 I've been meaning to bring this up but I've been busy.  My systems use
 ZFS which won't care, but the change as-is will probably affect my
 installation procedures.
