I had this problem myself...and I could not find a way to re-order the
cards.  So, I started using glabel to solve my problems.
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=glabel&sektion=8 .  This obviously
may not solve your direct problem, but it solved mine since I then
mount,fsck,whatever /dev/ufs/systemRoot .

I hope this helps!
