Well I am pleased to report that I was successful in booting FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE from a ZFS filesystem on a GPT partition. I followed the guide. I don't believe to have done anything different this time around, aside installing the default boot loader using fdisk. Perhaps there was a conflict, I'm not certain... It works!
