Step 8 was CRUCIAL to the setup. All along, following the guides, I was doing this. The ONLY difference was after I built the loader with LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT=YES I did this step from /mnt2/boot/pmbr and /mnt2/boot/gptzfsboot. One guide even had me do this first. This is the one thing that made it work. I am now happy to be testing 8.0-BETA1 on my machine. I hope all of you stick around this thread since it was Drew's to begin with. Drew, If you contact me off list, I can run down the steps I took to making this work. A BIG THANK YOU to all who posted and helped! Jason
