  Thank you, Andriy.  Much as you'd expect, that patch solves the problem.  I get some
of the printf()s that I'd put into zfs_fmtdev(), and the system loads successfully.

  Please commit that patch, and if you could, change the comment just below the last
portion of it that is now not quite accurate (since you moved mentioned code).

  Thanks again!  How long will this take to get to stable/9?  Being new to FreeBSD,
I'm not too familiar with the process of HEAD/stable/etc.  (In NetBSD, it would be a
commit followed by a pull request.)
