Did you by any chance edit the disklabel with 'disklabel -r ...' on
the second disk after running the installboot?

that installboot command should have done the right thing, but there's
a known bug in 'disklabel -r' that can clobber boot blocks....


FYI: the *'s (partitions unalined w.r.t. cylinder boundaries) are
almost certainly _not_ the cause of your problem.
