I setup a number of servers with 9.1 and had the same issue.  I'm not sure 
why, all of the installation went with no errors.

I ended up with this in rc.conf:
fsck_y_enable="YES"
background_fsck="NO"
force_fsck="YES"

After a few reboots I was able to take it out.

Also if you have this in /etc/rc.conf:
dumpdev="YES"

It always does a dump even on reboot, which also marks the filesystems as 
dirty.
