Is your disk attached to ada0?

You can check this with camcontrol e.g.
camcontrol devlist
camcontrol identify <device>

Personally I find diskid's more of a hindrance than a help so I disable 
them in /boot/loader.conf with:
kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable="0"

For reference the same can be done for gpt and gptid, however gptid are 
more useful:
kern.geom.label.gpt.enable="0"
kern.geom.label.gptid.enable="0"

If your using 9.x I would also recommend moving to 10.1, lots of good 
things in this.

     Regards
     Steve
