Solved.  Was minor error in many lines of configuration typed by hand
into box with no other access.

For archives and searchers, formula outlined in my original post
*does* work on 9.0-BETA2 for root ZFS without option bootfs (boot from
external UFS).

Apology for wasted time, thanks to Andriy Gapon for trying to help...
And thanks to ZFS porters/coders for file system!
