Here's a quick laundry list:

Ensure all disks are available and visible to the firmware. Someone 
else on one of the lists made a change to the disk controller, thus 
limiting the number of visible disks. Once that was rectified 
everything was back to normal.

A description of your zpools layout would be nice. Any changes done to 
your zpools during operation prior to reboot, like adding disks only 
visible to the kernel, and not the firmware nor the boot loaders.

Try booting one of the 10.3 snapshots to see if the pools are healthy.

I hope others might chime in with far better suggestions than mine.

After you follow through on all the above, if it doesn't resolve it.

Do a man gptzfsboot and follow the examples.  You will probably want to 
stamp a new bootstrap on the boot drive partition.  (This is only if you 
used GPT and the BOOT disk is ZFS - seems to be)

Since you probably have the media on a USB or DVD, boot from it and get 
into a shell and re-stamp the bootstrap on the correct disk.

gpart show <RET>

will show you the partition table.  Chances are, partition 1 is the one 
you want to stamp and should say freebsd-boot:

  gpart show
