I have a similar problem, and it seems related to the moment
that bge0 is brought up :

I have a kernel-config with only 'device mii' compiled in;
if I set if_bge_load=YES in loader.conf, boot single user and
run netif by hand I get :


  Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/aacd0s1a

However, if I place kldload if_bge in rc.local (and normal multi-user
boot) :


   XXX netif start ...
