>I'm getting an error message "zpool_cache...failed!" during boot.

Ok, I'm a little slow 8o)

It had me confused because I hadn't configured any ZFS.  I had forgetten about 
the existence of /boot/defaults/loader.conf.

I find it ODD that the default for zpool_cache_load is YES.

Anyway, I added zpool_cache_load="NO" to my /boot/loader.conf and now I don't 
see the error message.
