So, just to be clear, I need to boot off a USB key (which will then allow me to write to ad8 and ad10, my two boot zpool devices), and then:

dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ad8 bs=512 count=1
dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ad10 bs=512 count=1
dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ad8 bs=512 skip=1 seek=1024
dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ad10 bs=512 skip=1 seek=1024

And that assumes that I copy the newly-compiled zfsboot to the USB key after creating it, correct?
