You're correct, thank you - I don't think "zfs" even has the "import"
command in itself. "zpool" is what the intention was.

I think it got mentioned, but always when someone gets burn by it.

I think the real problem is that there should be some sort of
dependency tracking so the /etc/rc.d/zfs script knows it should start
"hostid" before running, or refuse to run if hostid is not started. Or
maybe the same but for the kernel module and "zfs" and "zpool"
executables.

Can't help you with the build world issues except by suggesting
generic troubleshooting:

- try deleting /usr/obj
- try installworld into a different directory (DESTDIR variable)
- try building world on a different machine with exactly the same
sources then copying /usr/obj to your machine and doing make
installworld as usual.
