root@bruno:/usr/src # zpool get bootfs
NAME   PROPERTY  VALUE               SOURCE
ssd1   bootfs    -                   default
zroot  bootfs    zroot/ROOT/default  local

AFAICT, everything is configured correctly.  I followed
gptzfsboot(8) as carefully as I could.

I was wondering about the bootblocks.  However, I have not 
upgraded/enabled new features in my zpools, across all my
systems, in quite some time, more than a year at least.

Anyway I am in a multi-hour quest currently to bring the
box down to stable/12.  I am about at the point of reinstalling
from scratch.  Not a total loss, I know a lot more about
the boot and kernel/userland versioning than I did before...

Thanks for the reply!
