Yes I did.  However I figured out my problem.  I was chrooted into /dist 
and the zpool.cache was being written to /boot/zfs (as you mention).  
But because of the chroot, when I checked /boot/zfs, I was *really* 
checking /dist/boot/zfs.  Thus my problem.  :)

However I'm still having difficulty.  I suspect I don't have a 
/boot/loader that supports zfs filesystems as I just boot to the 'OK" 
prompt.  An 'lsdev' only shows BIOS devices but I've seen posts on the 
Net that indicate I should have zfs devices listed there too if I have a 
proper /boot/loader.  I've used the one from both 7.2-RELEASE.iso and 
8.0-BETA1.iso but no luck.  Do you know of any way I can confirm or deny 
my suspicion?

Thanks,

Drew
