    I use ZFS Boot with a three-way mirror (A seperate GPT slice on each of 
the drives) and the swap-space is spanned across 3 other slices (one on each 
of the boot drives).  I think its giving me that error because it never gets 
far enough in the boot to swapon those slices before it panics. Another 
symptom of this is that it dosent get far enough to clear the nextboot flag, 
so when it does go boom, I have to manually tell it to boot from the working 
kernel (r194958).

    I'll try in a few hours to see if it will allow me to go into single 
user and report back to everyone. I'm not infront of the console at the 
moment (I need to get a IP-KVM) :>
