First of all, thank pjd_at_, mm_at_ and others who made zfs go ahead in 
FreeBSD! You are absolutely monsters!

Now one question, what I do wrong, that I can't use /boot/zfsboot to 
boot MBR+zfs-only FreeBSD?
More info. If I use /boot/zfsboot form recent STABLE (from snapshot CD 
or built myself) to boot up this

monstro# gpart show ad6
=>       63  625142385  ad6  MBR  (298G)
          63  104872257    1  ntfs  [active]  (50G)
   104872320  520270128    2  freebsd  (248G)

monstro# gpart show ad6s2
=>        0  520270128  ad6s2  BSD  (248G)
           0  516075824      1  freebsd-zfs  (246G)
   516075824    4194304      2  freebsd-swap  (2.0G)

I install /boot/zfsboot as

dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ad6s2 count=1
dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ad6s2a skip=1 seek=1024

when I reboot, system stuck in "-" or "\" or "/" or finaly "|" prompt.

when I install /boot/zfsboot from recent 9-CURRENT snapshot CD all 
boots-up perfectly.
More over, fresh built /boot/zfsboot from v28 pachset either from 8-S or 
9-C patches stuck as I describe above.

What I miss? Can somebody send me known to work copy of /boot/zfsboot 
from v28 patchset?

Thanks!
