>Description:
# gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad10

returns

"ad10s1 has bootcode"

Which could either mean 

(1) "ad10s1 already has bootcode. I wont overwrite that!"

or

(2) "bootcode was written to ad10s1"

It's not very obvious that (2) is the case. 

Please change the return string to (2)

>How-To-Repeat:
# gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad10

>Fix:
Change the return string to "bootcode was written to %s"
