Here is a snippet from the release notes: * Note:* GEOM-enabled kernels no longer support ``compatability slices''. This feature (supported on the i386 and pc98 only) allowed a user to refer to a disk partition without specifying an MBR slice (e.g. /dev/ad0a); the kernel would automatically find the first applicable FreeBSD slice and use it. On GEOM-enabled kernels (the default), only the full partition names (e.g. /dev/ad0s1a) are allowed when referring to partitions within MBR slices. This change should affect very few users.
