Hi,

Thanks for this very helpful hint! In fact it was "newfs".

BTW I found an even more simple solution: Before booting the
slave-system for the first time from harddisk I boot the box using the
FreeBSD install-CD: Go through fdisk and label assign all your
partitions a mount point and you're done - the box boots without any
problems whatsoever.
