Well, either you're not describing your actual experience, or I've
misunderstood.  I'm open to input.  Are you trying to tell me that you
were able to go from 8.0 to 8.1, using freebsd-update, with a
ZFS-on-root boot?  Or were you just saying "well, it *should* work",
because it my experience it didn't.

Sure they can.  I want someone who actually hacks the ZFS boot code to
help me out.  How do I reach them?  Is ZFS a first-class FS now in the
binary builds, or not?
