    mergemaster -p -- run before installworld or (preferably) buildworld -- good.

    You might have to installworld before rebooting -- I know I always do.

    According to intro(2), error 16 is EBUSY ("Device busy").

    I think the kernel is not letting you use a device in the RAID.
    After all, it says subdisks:
      ad4
      ad6
    and you're trying to boot from ad4. Could that be it?
