Didn't you get the following warning:
# zpool upgrade -a
This system is currently running ZFS pool version 28.

Successfully upgraded 'tank'

If you boot from pool 'tank', don't forget to update boot code.
Assuming you use GPT partitioning and da0 is your boot disk
the following command will do it:

    gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 da0

Or something similar?

If you didn't follow the warnings, how else can we help you?
