pfsense mount root error after disk clone

I went the lazy route and cloned my SSD that runs my current pfsense (2.1.5) machine to create a backup machine with the same config.
Instead of doing a fresh reinstall and copying the config.



Both machines have the exact same hardware and BIOS settings.
Both SSD's I used, main and clone are the same (size and brand).



I used clonezilla to create the clone.



During the boot of my "backup" machine I got the error:



http://puu.sh/p2Ppc/edd7d0d38c.jpg



Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad4s1a
ROOT MOUNT ERROR



Following the ?:
http://puu.sh/p2PDm/7877dbf8cf.jpg



It's so weird that this happend as it was a 1:1 clone.
Also /dev/ad4s1a exists



Anyone have any ideas how to:
1. Solve my current problem?
2. Avoid this during a clone?



Thanks

          I know if you hit the ? it will list the drives and you can then tell it by ufs:/dev/ad4s1a (if that is where pfsense is) .. Once that works and boots you can then edit a file and update that to what you found is boot point. I am right now trying find the file to change
