I'm assuming you're booting from a UFS /boot? Otherwise you'd need to build the required modules into the kernel. Maybe you need to build/install a zfs-enabled bootloader? I see some code in /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/zfsboot/ and /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/zfsloader/, but I'm not a ZFS user. > Does special zfs support need to be built into the kernel?

When building a custom kernel, _always_ start from a GENERIC kernel from the release you're using. There have been changes between 7.3 and 8.1 that you are probably missing.
