This PC is not using UEFI to boot.  After booting I get the following
message:

gptzfsboot: No ZFS pools located; Cant't boot

That is as far as things go.  I read the UPDATING file before I
builtworld and built a kernel.  This was the first boot after doing an
installworld and performing mergemaster and then copying the
/boot/gptzfsboot file to ada0p1 and ada1p1.
