Help booting FreeBSD with a ZFS root filesystem

[Ross Penner]

I'm trying to set up a system using ZFS as the root filesystem. I
followed this guide: (http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot).
Everything went swimmingly until I rebooted and the system failed to
load.

output:

FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1
(root@, Mon Jan 25 13:03:11 UTC 2010)
\
can't load 'kernel'

Type '?' for a list of command, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK


I used the memstick 8.0-Release. Can anybody suggest what could have
gone wrong, or how I could find out what could have gone wrong?

Thank you for any help
