That looks like you have lost contact with your disk.

8.X switched to the gpart(8) module, and if you use fdisk(8) to
change the active partition, something screws up and you loose
contact with the disk.

Not sure if boot0cfg(8) also suffers this problem.

The solution is to use gpart to set the active partition and
the nanobsd.sh and assorted files have been updated to do this
as far as I'm aware.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
