I got thinks working by commenting out
options ATA_STATIC_ID # Static device numbering
in the kernel.
I had to build a test kernel as described in /usr/src/UPDATING.
I still got my mountroot> prompt but for a change is showed me some
possible devices. I was able to ad0s1a to boot from. I rebooted to my
working kernel and edited /etc/fstab to use ad0. Then booted my test
kernel again.
The system booted. I installed the kernel w/o ATA_STATIC_ID and was
able to boot in my Sunfire X2100 and my X2200.

Have you tried interrupting the boot sequence and setting new
values for the `rootdev' and `root_disk_unit' loader variables?
The loader(8) manual page has more information.
No I haven't tried that yet. Will that get me to a point where I can
trust it to boot on it's own to the correct disk all the time?
