ok.. i did re-make the /sys/boot.
then:

su-2.04# fdisk
******* Working on device /dev/ad0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=19386 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=19386 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
     start 63, size 19541025 (9541 Meg), flag 80 (active)
         beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
         end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 15

then

su-2.04# disklabel -B ad0
su-2.04# reboot

and, after reboot:

su-2.04# top
top: nlist failed
