I think you caused some major braindamage by copying over a running
system. You should boot the original disks (ad3s2a), re-newfs the ad0
partitions, mount them (example is /newroot for the a partition, make
directories as needed and mount other partitions), then copy the data over
using tar instead of dump/restore.  Tar like this should be close enough:

tar -C / -cpf - | tar -C /newroot/ -xpvf -
edit /newroot/etc/fstab, change entries

Unmount the new partitions then reboot to the new disks. If it works,
you're all good. If not you have a fallback.

I'm not sure dump/restore works to disks of different sizes.
