first: YOU WROTE: "-> creating one partition of type ccd spanning entire disk"
i take you're word.... then you should have a close look at 'man ccd' "Note that the `raw' partitions of the disks should not be combined. Each component partition should be offset at least one cylinder from the beginning of the component disk." this is not what you said you did. second: i would use disklabel to create explicitly a partition on ccd0 (not using 'c'). but i'm not sure if this is really necessary.
