Well, I don't know anything near enough about UFS to be able to speculate 
on why a valid disklabel is found while the entire physical disk is mounted.
What I would say is that the system freezing when trying to umount the 
filesystems could have something to do with this oddity.

However, one thing I'd do ASAP is back up the data (I know 300+ GB is a lot 
of data) and boot into single user mode so that the 2 disks aren't mounted.
I'd then newfs ad{2,3}s1c and modify my fstab to reflect the fact that I'm 
now using filesystems here rather than just ad{2,3}, boot normally and 
restore the data.

PS: I'm a member of this mailing list so there's no need to Cc: me in on any
replies - I'll get whatever's sent to the list.
