I'm seeing some difference in the bootloader output between using the
F12 workaround or not:

F12 workaround mode:

FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: zroot:/boot/zfsloader
boot: status
config:

             NAME     STATE
             zroot    ONLINE
        gpt/disk0   ONLINE


No F12 key pressed:

FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: zroot:/boot/kernel/kernel
config:

              NAME     STATE
               zroot    ONLINE
          gpt/disk0   ONLINE


What's up with the differences between the Default boot setting?
