I previously used binary update to migrate from 9.0 to 9.1, via:

freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.1-RC1
freebsd-update install
reboot
freebsd-update install
reboot

I'm starting to think having the swap partition in gm0s1a and the booting UFS partition in ada0s1b is the problem:

The "Not UFS" error comes immediately on boot. 

If I boot from rescue media, I can start the gmirror, mount it and chroot into it.

The whole install seems fine except for the first stage boot loader finding the UFS partition.

A handy bootloader config trick would be greatly appreciated!
