This may sound strange (and the circumstances are certainly different than your own), but FWIW when I installed FBSD 6.3 as a vmware ESX guest, I was getting "drive not found" errors until I installed the FreeBSD Boot Manager.
I know you're
migrating and not installing fresh, but the symptoms of your problem are similar enough that it caught my attention.
If, as a last ditch effort before a fresh install (and after you've taken good backups), you'd like to give this a try:
# sysinstall
Configure -> Fdisk -> Q (for quit) -> BootMgr
That should install the boot manager for you, or I believe you can use
boot0cfg(8) instead.
Good luck.
