I am guessing this message should probably be updated with the caveat
that if you have an efi partition, it should be different ?


zpool replace zroot 9333639541642063400 /dev/ada0p4

Make sure to wait until resilver is done before rebooting.

If you boot from pool 'zroot-nfs2', you may need to update
boot code on newly attached disk '/dev/ada0p4'.

Assuming you use GPT partitioning and 'da0' is your new boot disk
you may use the following command:

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