This patch does include ZFS boot support (for i386 only. Look in
sys/boot/i386/zfsboot and boot/zfs) I was unable to make it work though, but
I was able to install a ZFS-supporting loader, by building the loader with
LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT=yes .

However, this feature is a bit undocumented yet, and it didn't work correctly
for me. But you can always test it out.
