--- Comment #1 from Paul Ivanov <pi@berkeley.edu> ---
After re-reading my own thread for how I set up this system, it turned
out that this was a quirk in my setup and the result of using the same
zfs dataset as both an initial root partition, and later a /boot
partition. After re-reading my own thread for how I set up this system,
I needed to have /boot/boot be a symlink to '.' in order for the dataset
to work as an unencrypted root partition. As this system doesn't use the
/boot/boot MBR, I was able to get away with having /boot/boot be a
symlink, and I had moved aside the contents of the original /boot/boot
in case I ever need it later. The upgrade overwrote the /boot/boot
symlink I put in to make /boot also function as a standalone /,
replacing it with the MBR /boot/boot. Putting back the symlink fixed my
booting issue.
