Having /etc as a separate partition is your problem. The boot loader knows where to find the root partition and nothing else, which means that FreeBSD loads, mounts the root partition, looks for /etc/fstab, can't find it because /etc is not mounted, and therefore doesn't mount any partitions. If you move /etc back into the root partition, you should be fine.
