Error 22 is EINVAL.  Which disk did you get loader off of?

My first shot at this would be that somehow a -stable kernel is trying to
mount a ufs2 filesystem, but everything *seems* to be in order.

Are you using boot0?

I have a machine with 2 ide disks and boot0 that seems to keep everything
straight. Combined IDE/SCSI systems can be a bit tempermental.
