FreeBSD 9.0 to 9.1 upgrade issue
If you get stuck on the BTX boot loader spinner after doing the first step in upgrading from 9.0 to 9.1 you can try reinstalling the bootsector from a 9.1 cd (I used mfsbsd live usb image), that fixed it for me. I'm using GPT and zfs root so I issued "gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 <disk>" for all disks in my raidz root pool.
Standard disclaimer applies: use at your own risk, I take no responsibility for anything you might break.
