When I comment out this two lines in geom_mbr.c, it works again as before:
                //if (!(fflag & FWRITE))
                //        return (EPERM);
It means something is wrong with FWRITE flag settings. Device itself is 
writeable:
crw-r-----  1 root  operator    8,  66 Apr  4 03:33 /dev/ad0
