I had this same problem, and found an easy solution.  First, decide what
unit number your root partition is on.  For me it is 0 (i.e. root is on
da0s1a).  Then, create a /boot/loader.rc file with the following line:

set root_disk_unit=<unit number>

Then, you'll be set.  If you can't boot at all, hit Space bar at the
waiting to boot message, and type:

set root_disk_unit=<unit number>
boot

You should get going then.
