GPT partitions don't have active attribute. You should omit -i argument.
Just run `gpart unset -a active ada0`.

That ran without errors.. but sadly did not solve my problem of the UEFI not 
recognizing it as a bootable disk.     I think the problem is my particular 
UEFI doesn't recognize GPT drives that don't have an EFI partition on them.

So I gave up.  My server has been down for too long.   I took half the zfs 
mirror, created it with a MBR partition and installed FreeBSD 9.2 on it, and my 
UEFI can boot it in legacy mode.   From there I can mount the other half of the 
mirror and copy files off.   A painful process but at least I have a way 
forward.

Please, name your poison on list so that successors can google it in case someone wants to by the same piece of hardware.
