This error is in src/kern/subr_diskslice.c and looks to be exactly has
it says, a negative block number on that slick.

The error returns an invalid argument.  So in my small knowledge, I
would say that something changed in the filesystem that wasn't right. 
Looking through the archives (which I recommend next time, there are
dozens of messages about this, http://marc.theaimsgroup.com) it seems
that you were probably doing a dump(8) on a live filesystem.  Is this
true?

Pay attention to this thread:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freebsd-hackers&m=103679794507430&w=2

Like Darrel said, send along a dmesg and also take a look at df -h and
any dump(8) logs.

Hope this helps,
