  Sad to say that after hand-testing that patch, I waited for it to =
appear on stable-9,
(by manual inspection of the relevant code), and tried again.  This =
time, I get a
slightly different failure:

Rebooting with command: boot                                         =20
Boot device: disk1  File and args:=20

>> FreeBSD/sparc64 ZFS boot block
    Boot path:   /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/disk@1,0:a
ERROR: Last Trap: Memory Address not Aligned

{1} ok

  This is with a zfsloader built from stable-9 as of Feb 2.  I'm =
updating and rebuilding
now, just to check, but I wanted to send out a note incase anyone else =
on the
sparc64 list has also seen this.

               - Chris
