ulimit is a shell builtin (more precisely, what POSIX calls an intrinsic
command).  POSIX previously required separate binaries for intrinsic
commands, even though in most cases (including ulimit) it makes no sense
because the effect of the command is lost as soon as the process
terminates.  This requirement was dropped in the 2024 edition, so we
removed them last December, except for command(1) and kill(1).

You may well have a zpool named “vms” but that's irrelevant; “vms” here
is the display name for RLIMIT_VMM.

It looks like you are trying to boot a recent FreeBSD 16 userland on
either an older FreeBSD 16 kernel or a FreeBSD 15 (or earlier) kernel.
