Thanks to all who replied! I think that I figured it out with your help. 'unload' does indeed unload zpool.cache and the latter is needed for proper zfs root mounting. 'boot /other/kernel' executes some loader scripts and zpool.cache gets loaded in this case (because of the settings in defaults/loader.conf). When doing manual 'load xxx' and then just 'boot' no loader scripts are executed and zpool.cache does not get loaded. In this case one has to load it manually using the suggested 'load -t xxx' approach. -- Andriy Gapon
