Because of a zfs-related crash to debugger, zfs_enable="YES" was 
subsequently commented out. That got fixed. At the time of the 
crash it was not commented. The system does not have zroot.
The boot disk is ufs2.

Then zfs was loaded manually via kldload. The zpool imported with -a. 
Then zfs share -a. The shares could not be seen until I copied /etc/zfs/exports
to /etc/exports and stopped mountd rpcbind and nfs then service nfsd start.

It's all working now. All I need to do is uncomment the zfs_enable line in
the /etc/rc.conf so the zpool comes back when rebooted.
