Hi hassan,
at the beginning of your post you tell us that the system you create the flash is a system with root mirroring.
This should be the problem, because so far I no the md (metadb -a)description is on additional slices.
But this slice is not inside the flash archive.
Due too this fact you are not able to find the root partition on your client system and the result is a system panic.

Best regards
joerg
