Without the ability to check this, I strongly assume that
if you enable ZFS as described in the Handbook, the module
/boot/kernel/zfs.ko (part of the default system) will be
loaded. That's why it won't show up in a sysctl query
aimed at the _kernel_ itself -- because it isn't in the
kernel.
Also, "sysctl -n kern.bootfile" will return the actual
kernel file, /boot/kernel/kernel, which is a binary. If
the exact config list (from the kernel _configuration_
file) is not plain-text part of that file, grep will not
find the text you're grepping for.
