Am I missing some point of updating? Probably that you shouldn't have downgraded savecore by updating it :-). savecore now uses devname() but devname() is too unreliable to use for anything except informational output. There are several failure modes. When devname() can't find the device name by looking up dev.db or using sysctl kern.devname, it invents a name of the above form. Apparently, the device name "ad0s1b" is not understood by the kernel when savecore is run (early in /etc/rc).
