Ah, the joys of freeBSD's lack of nailed-up SCSI devices by default. What most likely has happened is: Your old devices were most likely sd0 and sd1. You added 2 new drives, so sd1 became sd3. You probably didn't update your fstab to show this change, so FreeBSD is now accessing one of your quantums, andc an't find a valid FS on it. Easy fix is to boot -s, edit your fstab, and change sd1's to sd3's. Of course, YMMV.
