You have an incorrect super block.

That means, basically, that the header at the start of the file system has 
gotten corrupted.  This is bad, but (from section 8 of the FBSD fsck man 
page):

     -b      Use the block specified immediately after the flag as the super
             block for the filesystem.  Block 32 is usually an alternate super
             block.


So try

   fsck -b 32

If that doesn't work, then I hope you have a backup of the file system as 
it's probably toast.  If you don't have a backup of the file system, you'll 
need to start learning a lot FreeBSD file systems and how to repair them.
