also in my diff against CURRENT from your updated SVN, i found the patch
created a /usr/src/rc.d/zfsd instead of /usr/src/etc/rc.d.... a bit odd....
and /usr/src/sbin/zfsd instead of /usr/src/cddl/sbin ... however the
Makefiles were correctly patched for both in the proper locations... though
IMHO i was tired... might have been me.... i moved them to the proper
places when i realized they were built on the first make world kernel :P
might want to double check..... for others sanity....
