So I switched to -CURRENT:

1, overwriting /boot/loader.conf results with:

BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.02
Consoles: internal video/keyboard
BIOS drive C: is disk0
BIOS drive D: is disk1
BIOS drive E: is disk2
BIOS drive F: is disk3
BIOS 627kB/3405248kB available memory

FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1
(root_at_ztest, Mon Oct 26 14:01:44 CEST 2009)
Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf
ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable
Warning: error reading file /boot/loader.conf

so basically the same as in RELENG_8

2, + overwriting /boot/loader results with:

ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable
Invalid format

FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: z:/boot/kernel/kernel
boot:
\
int=00000001  err=00000000  efl=00000087 eip=0018d27d

       00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
BTX halted

3, I also try the 'status' as you told to Merijn before BTX halted:

ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable
Invalid format

FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: z:/boot/kernel/kernel
boot: status  pool: z
config:
NAME  STATE
z  ONLINE
raidz1  ONLINE
ad6p2  ONLINE
ad8p2  ONLINE
ad10p2  ONLINE
ad12p2  ONLINE
