I always found it to be some piece of useful information, what kernel spits out, when booted verbosely (boot -v). The kernel=B4s idea of slice sizes are then summarized (some kind of info I often would have be appreciated to be available from userland, when there are non-FBSD filesystems in extended partitions). I also found that this error appears during bootup on a perfectly running system, if there is by accident a disklabel on a slice (or extended partition), where there is no FBSD-filesystem on it. I had a disklabel for example on ad2s4, which is my container for the extended partitions and therefore shouldn=B4t have one. Maybe you just created a disklabel somewhere else by a typo.
