I tried to do as you suggest and change the partition type to freebsd-ufs,

# gpart modify -i 1 -t freebsd-ufs /dev/da1
gpart: Invalid argument

da1 is the drive.  da1s1 is the first slice.

parameter for
that supposed to tell gpart which sub-part of the whole "geom" thing that is 
named on
the command line is supposed to be modified?

# gpart modify -i1 -t freebsd /dev/da1
