Hey, how did null.ko get loaded? Are you using nullfs?  I'm not an FS
person, but the mount_null() man page says:

BUGS
     THIS FILESYSTEM TYPE IS NOT YET FULLY SUPPORTED (READ: IT DOESN'T WORK)
     AND USING IT MAY, IN FACT, DESTROY DATA ON YOUR SYSTEM.  USE AT YOUR OWN
<...>

This is enough for me to suggest you get nullfs out of the picture
before proceeding any further..
