problem after installkernel going from 9.0 to CURRENT

Situation:
One of my boxes failed, and for various reasons it became easier to
just scrub and rebuild it.
1) Using BSDinstall, I created the first disk:
ada0p1 freebsd-boot 128k
ada0p2 freebsd-swap 4g
ada0p3 freebsd-ufs 25g
2) Installed off the CD, got it up and running, everything was good.
3) Like it's predecessor, this wants to run CURRENT.
Used csup (tag=.) to update the source tree as of midnight last night.
4) Built world - OK.
Build kernel - OK.
Ran mergemaster - OK.
Installed kernel - OK.
5) On rebooting, the loader(??) claims to not be able to find a
bootable partition - i.e. I get a screen that ends in "mountpoint > ".
Providing the presumptive value by hand returns "error 19".
6) Boot using installation CD and use "gpart show" to double check
device names and partitions; everything looks good.
7) Try normal booting again, no go.
This is my first time installing to a GPT partitioned system, and I
have (obviously) failed to grok something. I checked src/UPDATING and
found nothing which covered this.
What is it, and how do I fix it?
Respectfully,
Robert Huff
