This is the GPT table. I booted from the memstick again:

  # gpart show ada0
=>        34  5860533101  ada0  GPT  (2.7T)
           34           6        - free -  (3.0K)
           40        1024     1  freebsd-boot  (512K)
         1064    67108864     2  freebsd-ufs  (32G)
     67109928  5793423207        - free -  (2.7T)


If the main table was broken it would complain, right?
