Nope, that didn't fix it. I even tried editing /etc/rc.d/zfs and
included the gnop commands in the zfs_start(). The gnop still started
up _after_ the ZFS in dmesg.

However, I did figure it out after looking at the services that were
starting up. There is apparent a 'zvol' script, which was the culprit.
It was loading some ZFS stuff before the 'zfs' script. Once I set the
'gnop' script to startup before the 'zvol' script, worked like a
charm. My zpool status now shows that it's using the gnop devices.
Yay!!
