From /boot/loader.help:
# Tset Srootdev DSet the root filesystem
set rootdev=<path>
By default the value of $currdev is used to set the root filesystem
when the kernel is booted. This can be overridden by setting
$rootdev explicitly.
So just add
set rootdev=/dev/<your_root_device>
to /boot/loader.conf
