Well, then you won't be able to get a core, because by the time doadump 
starts the filesystem layer is already dead. The kernel just won't be 
able to save the dump to something as complicated as a 3-disk-span swap 
space - it can't even dump to a gmirror-based swapspace properly, you 
know ;)

And if you're using ZFS boot, you probably have ZFS built into kernel so 
I'm not sure if booting without loading zfs.ko is possible as it's 
already inside...
