Just an update:
today I connected another disk to the machine (I used a sata-to-usb adapter,
but I think that doesn't matter), this disk is MBR-partitioned,
and the machine boots from this with no problems using the boot menu (via F12).
root@kg-vm2# gpart show -p da1
=> 63 117210177 da1 MBR (55G)
63 29350692 da1s1 freebsd (14G)
29350755 29360079 da1s2 freebsd [active] (14G)
58710834 58499406 - free - (27G)
The non-working disk looks like this:
root@kg-vm2# gpart show -p ada0
=> 34 250069613 ada0 GPT (119G)
34 128 ada0p1 freebsd-boot (64k)
162 119537664 ada0p2 freebsd-ufs (57G)
119537826 8388608 ada0p3 freebsd-swap (4.0G)
127926434 121634816 ada0p4 freebsd-ufs (58G)
249561250 508397 - free - (248M)
