I had to convert a system from GPT to MBR. All went fine till I tried to

The loader should be getting that information from /etc/fstab. Have the
entries there been changed?
That was the problem. The system used GPT before and I can't believe I forgot
to update fstab. That was a really dumb mistake.
Not really, the only reason it occurred to me was because I've forgotten
to do it many, many times.
As Polytropon points out, labels can help avoid the problem. In this
case, it would have had to be a UFS label on the filesystem:
