I set the correct value for vfs.root.mountfrom in file 
/boot/loader.rc, and then the start process can continue without asking
manual root filesystem specification :

=============8<---------------------------
\ Set this to mount 
set vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ad2s1a

Hope this hint help other people.
