> Easiest fix would be to replace "dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ada0s1 count=1" with "dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ada0s1 count=2" in the docs to make sure that second sector has no traces of BSD label.

This fix may be easy but it will look obscure to the uninitiated. We need to
state firmly that a bootable ZFS pool is not supported if a BSD label is
present.
