What do you mean 'the zfs option'? You mean you used the ZFS
installation option in bsdinstall?

That is a known issue that was fixed in later versions, here are the
instructions to fix it:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2013-October/075504.html

    o Updates to bsdinstall(8).  Please note the following:
	- 10.0-BETA1 introduces a number of updates to bsdinstall(8),
	  notably the ability to install to a full ZFS filesystem.
	  Please keep in mind that this is an experimental feature.
	- If using the ZFS installation option in *and* have enabled
	  full-disk encryption is enabled, a few entries will need to be
	  manually added to loader.conf(5) before the 'bootpool' zpool
	  will be available after the system boots.  This manual step
	  is expected to be fixed in 10.0-BETA2.

	  The entries that need to be added are:

	    zpool_cache_load="YES"
	    zpool_cache_type="/boot/zfs/zpool.cache"
	    zpool_cache_name="/boot/zfs/zpool.cache"

	  This can be done at the final menu of bsdinstall(8), when
	  prompted to boot into the newly-installed system;
	  alternatively, this can be done post-install, in which case,
	  the following must be run before appending loader.conf(5):

	    # zpool import -f bootpool
