>Description:
I updated my up-to-date running FreeBSD 8.3 server to 9.0. 
Within the 8.3 environment I had setup a RAID 1 with gmirror according the FreeBSD documentation.

I started an upgrade to 9.0-RELEASE using the freebsd-update steps as described in de documentation. After a reboot the system did not boot again. 

I resolved that as follows:

During boot with option [2] from the boot menu I dropped the system to a loader(8) prompt.
> set kern.geom.part.check_integrity=0
> boot

Below the current output of > gpart show

=>       63  976773104  mirror/gm0  MBR  (465G) [CORRUPT]
         63  976773105           1  freebsd  [active]  (465G)

=>        0  976773105  mirror/gm0s1  BSD  (465G)
          0    2097152             1  freebsd-ufs  (1.0G)
    2097152    2097152             2  freebsd-swap  (1.0G)
    4194304   10485760             4  freebsd-ufs  (5.0G)
   14680064    4194304             5  freebsd-ufs  (2.0G)
   18874368  957898737             6  freebsd-ufs  (456G)

When I do a > shutdown -h now, the system will not stop because of the corrupted tables.
