Ok, it turns out that the (I believe anyway) the
pci-express code, or some other recent change added
recently now detects the onboard raid controller on
this new mboard, and thus mucked with the device
numbers.

However, the 'mountroot>' code seems b0rked.  Since
using  'ufs:/dev/ad16s1a' fails, as well as '?' and
'ufs:ad16s1a'.

Only turning off the controller in bios to return the
numbering back to ad12 worked.  (I didn't try the
'set' method at the boot loader).
