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

mount_chfs
MOUNT_CHFS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MOUNT_CHFS(8)
NAME
mount_chfs -- mount a CHFS flash file system
SYNOPSIS
mount_chfs
DESCRIPTION
Mounts a flash file system from a flash(4) device. CHFS file systems can be only mounted from flash devices. For regular block devices like
SSD drives or USB drives, please use a regular file system. The file system will be created during the first mount. CHFS stands for Chip
File System.
EXAMPLES
mount_chfs /dev/flash0 /mnt
SEE ALSO
flash(4), fstab(5), mount(8), flash(9)
HISTORY
CHFS was originally called ChewieFS during development. The name was changed to avoid legal issues and to have a more neutral name.
AUTHORS
CHFS was developed at the Department of Software Engineering, University of Szeged, Hungary.
BUGS
CHFS has a few known bugs as of 2011. Writing the FS full can cause problems. Truncating a file and growing it again can cause the new
bytes not having all zeroes, but filled with the old content instead.
