r226141 is head.  Did you build a 10-current or RELENG_9 world?

How full is your zpool?  Has it ever been quite full (>~90%)?

This means your pool is OK and you've run afoul of limitations in zfsboot.

I suspect you have two options:
1) Do a send|recv to rebuild your root pool.
2) Build (and install) a new zfsboot with the patches mentioned in
