>Description:
After deleting the d and e partition and creating a new d partition with the available free space, boot hangs at boot2 

However, entering 0:ad(0,3,a)/boot/loader, I can boot and system works normal

bsdlabel is ok

# /dev/ada0s3:
8 partitions:
#          size     offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a:    4194304          0    4.2BSD        0     0     0
  b:    4190208    4194304      swap                    
  c:   96255999          0    unused        0     0     # "raw" part, don't edit
  d:   87871487    8384512    4.2BSD        0     0     0


so I created /boot.config with the above settings but it seems not beeing read, still hangs at boot2

Editing the label with bsdlabel -e was not permitted

using gpart for bootstrapping
gpart bootcode -b /boot/boot ada0s3

also no success, still hangs at boot2

having currdev and/or rootdev in boot.loader makes no difference either

I am n ot very familare to mbr/disk manipulation, so I do not know what else to do now

My boot loader is grub2 installed on this ada0s3a partition, all other systems are coming up fine, since it is coming until boot2 on ada0s3a I believe the problem is not the boot manager

my partitions are glabeled, some also gjournal, I have two disks, this system should boot from ada0s3a which is label/rootfs

/dev/label/rootfs      2G    394M    1.4G    21%    /
devfs                1.0k    1.0k      0B   100%    /dev
/dev/label/varfs      57G    1.4G     51G     3%    /var
/dev/label/usrfs     134G     12G    111G    10%    /usr
/dev/label/dados      39G     29G    7.4G    80%    /dados
