I've succeeded in booting off raidz!

There is a remaining issue with /boot/loader getting zfs errors at boot time
resulting in loader.conf not being read. After setting the various variables
manually (vm.kmem_size, vfs.root.mountfrom) and loading zfs, it works...

I've updated the howto to reflect that.

Any help in tackling the last issue is welcome.
