I spent a couple of hours dealing with this on my Thinkpad X60 today which had, what I thought, was a pretty simple setup of 1 slice for BSD, and a simple layout of /, swap and /usr. When I tried to boot the new kernel I got to the mount error prompt and could not mount ad4p1 or anything like it. Adding the GEOM_MBR and GEOM_BSD options back into the kernel fixed things. Happily I was able to boot 7.1 still and fix this.
