There was a significant fix to boot code made recently by jhb.
It is now in head, stable/7 and stable/6.
So you need to update to the recent resources.
What you also need (and what was not emphasized enough, IMO) is to actually
install new boot code (/boot/boot) to your active slices after installworld completes.

E.g.:
$ gpart bootcode -b /boot/boot adXsY
