  So, now that we're past the holiday madness, and I haven't heard =
anything back
on this is there some other group or list I should ask the questions of =
ZFS internals
to figure out why the sparc64 MD boot loader code is seeing a =
dn_datablkszsec
of 0, and what it should be set to?

  Thanks.  I'm happy to compose another message to include people who =
might
be able to help.  I'm out of my "comfort zone" in ZFS.
