Is this the C partition problem you refer to?

bsdlabel: partition c doesn't cover the whole unit!
bsdlabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard
system utilities

Could this possibly be at the root of my boot problem:

disk1s1: FFS bad disklabel
disk2s1: FFS bad disklabel

It only seems to be a problem if I try to use slices as gmirror
providers and shrink them to avoid the last sector collision with the
whole disk.
