either gptzfsboot or zfsloader hangs during boot after kernel and pool upgrade

Following a suggestion from Matt Reimer, I've updated the bootcode

gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 da0

but using a gptzfsboot from FreeBSD 9.2-release instead of FreeBSD 8.4-release and the system now boots correctly.

So my immediate problem is resolved, but it does mean there's a bug in the gptzfsboot for FreeBSD 8.4 at least and I’m pretty sure it’s the serial changes from 9.2 need to be ported to 8.4.
