update: this worked like a charm, thx again!

next question (and I apologise if this is written down somewhere and I just
failed to find it): how do I make sure that "/etc/rc.d/zfsbe start" is run
automatically at boot?

(while I favour FreeBSD for various reasons, I've so far not had much
chance to actually administrate a machine running BSD for any significant
amount of time, I'm afraid ...)

TIA
