NetBSD does this (on my VX40) as well; it seems to be harmless.

Don't know where that message came from; what did you have on the disk
beforehand?  That's certainly not the FreeBSD bootblocks talking.

Looks like you need to do the "standard" disklabelling magic before 
rebooting but after the install.

> Can't open /dev/rda0s1a: Device not configured

That's normal too; you need to update /etc/fstab by hand as sysinstall 
is writing out the sliced version but the SRM console won't boot from a 
sliced disk.

Try:

# mount /dev/da0a /
... (other mounts as required)
# vi /etc/fstab
    (remove 'sX' from device names)
# disklabel -B da0
    (should fix the inability to boot from dka0)
# reboot
