As further clarification, I can boot kernel.old (i.e., GENERIC) with the gptzfsloader, but the custom kernel won't boot;
The full config for the custom kernel is: include GENERIC ident RCBSD_ZFS_REL8 # Enabling IPSec (see SysAdmin.IPSec in TWiki) options IPSEC options IPSEC_FILTERTUNNEL device crypto The contents of /boot/loader.conf are: vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable="1" vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:tank" zfs_load="YES" -- Joshua A.
