So someone told me on IRC that the main problem was that I've put my
partition swap as first partition in the FreeBSD slice and zfsboot
*requires* that the zfs partition is the first.
Can someone with right access to the wiki page may add a notice about
this issue on https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/ZFSBootPartition
please?
