Everything (but /boot) on ZFS - trouble

The FreeBSD wiki entry (http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSOnRoot) is either
outdated or incomplete; or it's just that I have no clue...
In either case, the guide tells me to create a "boot" symlink on the
new partition, but I already have such a file (/boot/boot, not a link):
[root at devil ~]# file /boot/boot
/boot/boot: x86 boot sector; partition 4: ID=0xa5, active, starthead
0, startsector 0, 50000 sectors, code offset 0x3c, reserved sectors
0, Media descriptor 0x0, reserved 0x16, dos < 4.0 BootSector (0x1f)
What to do? I have no idea if this file is needed or not, and how to
proceed. Input is welcome.
BTW, I'm new to FreeBSD-CURRENT, and also quite inexperienced with
mailing lists, so be gentle. :)
Thanks,
Thomas
PS. Will the new bootable partition automatically show up in the boot
manager? I haven't rebooted to check yet. DS.
