Seems like it isn't supposed to work for 9.1-RC2
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!
boot(8) says
The automatic boot will attempt to load /boot/loader from partition
`a' of either the floppy or the hard disk.
You could try setting the correct device path in /boot/boot.config, but
I suspect that won't be read until too late.
gptboot looks for the first UFS partition. Maybe /boot/boot can be
modified to do that also.
