--As for the rest, it is mine.

Ok, I've tried shell mode and live CD mode.  I've re-partitioned my disks 
several different ways.

Nothing gets me a system that will actually boot.  Or even recognize that 
there is an OS loaded anywhere.  Help?

(My preferred partitioning:

ada1:
    1 freebsd-boot
    2 freebsd-swap  8G
    3 freebsd-zfs   4G (zil)
    4 freebsd-zfs   17G (cache)

ada0: Managed by ZFS, ~250G  Main filesystem.

This takes advantage of the mSATA SSD in ada1.)
