I think you are missing my point. I did a brand new install of 10.1-release on
this system using zfs as root and bsdinstall created a /etc/fstab entry for my
swap partition that didn't work so when I first booted the system following
the installation there was no swap. I had to change the fstab file in order to
get the swap partition enabled. This was due to the fact that the fstab had
/dev/ada0p2 in it for swap but that device did not exist in /dev.

That's really my only point, bsdinstall for 10.0-relese appears to have a
problem.
