I saw a similar issue when booting after setting up a
RAID 1 array for /, and having an "extra" partition.

bootxx_ffblah seems to try and boot off an ffs[2] partition if it can
see one, my fix was to use disklabel to unconfigure the extra (empty)
partition.

Sorry I can't be more specific, it was late at night a week ago
and I didn't keep accurate notes.
