Thanks for the link.  I agree that there is something unexpected 
happening recently with booting a ZFS filesystem using EFI.  I noticed 
that my system still flashes a "no pools available to import" message 
when using a MBR boot record at the same point that EFI boot just hangs 
but the booting process will complete soon afterward.  Putting EFI boot 
back on that ada0p1 partition hangs at the same point again.  I am 
fortunate that both systems can use either EFI or MBR boot records.
