Fwd: 11.2-Beta3 fails to boot: legacy mode ZFS

When you say it "failed at ZFS", what do you mean?
There will be multiple 'boot prompts' as well.
The system starts up, and boot1/boot2 happen. This is where you'll get
the first GELI password prompt.
This will start the loader, which draws the beastie menu. After the
menu, the kernel modules indicated in /boot/loader.conf are loaded, then
the text 'booting' is displayed, and the screen is cleared, and the
kernel starts loading.
Later on you get the mount-root prompt if something goes wrong.
Query: Do you happen to have VirtualBox or the nVidia driver kernel
modules loaded? This was causing problems for some other people, where
the system would boot up, but instantly panic once the VirtualBox
networking driver was loaded, since the vbox driver module needs to be
compiled against the 11.2 source code to work with an 11.2 kernel.
If this doesn't seem to be the problem:
Can you send the contents of /boot/loader.conf, /etc/rc.conf, 'zpool
list' and 'zfs list'
