Seems like I crashed all of it along with the mirrors. This worked,
though:
- boot from FreeBSD82 digital versatile disk; \
e.g., FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso
- select 6 at loader menu
load ahci
load zfs
boot
- fixit > dvd

gpart destroy -F ad6
gpart create -s gpt ad4

gpart add -t freebsd-zfs ad4

gpart add -s 64K -t freebsd-boot ad6
gpart add -s 5G -t freebsd-swap ad6
gpart add -t freebsd-zfs ad6
gpart bootcode -b /dist/boot/pmbr -p /dist/boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad6
gpart show
mkdir /boot/zfs
