I'm resending this email as I got no response the first time. After over 3 years of uptime, I decided to upgrade one of my SUN boxes to 9-stable. However the new kernel didn't boot because of geom integrity check issues. This I understand as I remember I had to use some weird tricks in the past to get the entire disks used in the first place. Anyway, I felt lucky this was a known and documented problem, with a workaround:

OK set kern.geom.part.check_integrity="0" OK boot jumping to kernel entry at 0xc0070000. Copyright (c) 1992-2012 The FreeBSD Project.
