This sounds great so I thought I'd try it.  Unfortunately, it didn't
work on my degraded pool [ZFS managed to kill a disk and I thought I'd
experiment].  When I tried to boot, I got:
ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable
ZFS: can't read MOS
ZFS: unexpected object set type lld

FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: tank:/boot/loader
boot:

The boot loader is up-to-date and was built with 'LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT'.
Any ideas?
