IT WORKS!!!

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
