Not sure how can I help now. This is a new issue, but there is quite simlar
issue already: when one of the mirror's components is down, root file
system also can't be mounted, because gmirror waits some time for all
components to come.

I've a patch which should solve your problem:

	http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/root_mount.patch

but it is not going to be committed, as phk asked me to hold on, he will
provide some more complete solution.
