I've a new machine that's been running 8-STABLE on ZFS for about a week
now.  Had no problems installing and then upgrading to recent 8-STABLE
although I did start with installing an 8-STABLE snapshot rather than
8.0-RELEASE. (See: http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/Mirror)

Verb. Sap.  If you're booting from ZFS, beware of updating the zpool
version without due care and attention.  8.0-RELEASE was on version 13,
8-STABLE is now on version 14.  (Use 'zpool update' to see what the
status is on your machine -- this just gives you a report, and doesn't
update anything.)  Updating the zpool version is pretty smooth and
simple, but *remember to immediately rebuild and reinstall gptzfsboot or
zfsboot bootcode on your drives*.  If you don't do that, your system
won't be able to find the pool with the root filesystem and so won't be
able to reboot.

	Cheers,
