Tried updating to get r336837 mentioned in another thread, and it still
doesn't help.
Current version is r336859. Partitioning schema looks this way:
=> 40 1953525088 ada0 GPT (932G)
40 409600 1 efi (200M)
409640 1803550720 2 freebsd-ufs (860G)
1803960360 148897792 3 freebsd-swap (71G)
1952858152 666976 - free - (326M)
I can boot it when booting from memstick r336739 and setting
vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:ada0p2".
