Hello Dmitry,

unclear is the word for it :) And thanks for looking into this. ipmi/ilo is
important on a server os.

I found a reference to it in a ML post:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2013-February/072464.html

The machines have similar setups:
gpt-partitioned and root-on-zfs, albeit different zpool versions.

Let me know if there is more info, or something else, you need. In the
worst case a "bisect" of the changes to the kernel from 9.2-RELEASE to
9.3-RELEASE should reveal it I guess.

Best regards
Andreas
