Do you mount the root pool over smth else? Otherwise, root should be
mounted by kernel before init(8) is started. And /etc/rc.d doesn't exist
before root is mounted.

I think the correct order is

  0 vfs_mountroot*
  ..
  2 rc.d/zvol (pre v28)
  ..
  6 rc.d/geli
  ..
  15 rc.d/mountcritlocal
  16 rc.d/zfs

where extra datasets from the root pool can be mounted via fstab at
rc.d/mountcritlocal time. Not sure if you import geli pool during boot
or not and leak its configuration via zpool.cache.
