Can you boot from a live fbsd cdrom and run fsck
on the boot drive?
Add the option -f -v
Assuming your boot partition and slice is |ada0s1a
|fsck -v -f -y /dev/|ada0s1a 2>&1 | tee /tmp/fsck.out|

Please provide the file /tmp/fsck.out by uploading it to some sharing 
website, and provide the url to it.

Be sure the drive in question is not mounted.
